First partition of /dev/scd - next partition would be /dev/scd1 - although usually USB ends up as /dev/sda, second USB socket /dev/sdb etc. /dev/ (device), /s (SCSI), d (drive), a (first of this type on the system bus). What does /etc/fstab say? cd hints that it's a CD drive - are you sure /dev/scd is actually related to the USB? I'd expect scd to be a SCSI CD device. I suppose it could be the third USB socket on your machine (which I'd expect to be /dev/sdc rather than /dev/scd.) USB devices usually start with 's' because the kernel deals with (all?) USB mass storage devices as if they were SCSI drives. > It's showing up as an fdisk-hidden > partition on my new USB flash drive, Newly purchased USB flash drives often have Windows-specific autoplay stuff, they are just normal files under GNU/Linux so delete them. To delete the partition, you'll need parted or other partition tools but be CAREFUL to only tamper with the USB partitions and not partitions on /dev/hda etc. > So, firstly what does scd mean?; secondly, how can I delete this > partition or otherwise disable it? It's not active under GNU/Linux anyway. Any automatic actions after plugging in the USB drive are entirely down to the settings in /etc/fstab and settings in Gnome/KDE. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
