How to mount a USB harddisk/media player in Gentoox?
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:18 pm
Hi I know the USB on the Xbox is only 1.1 - but that is still sufficient for my needs.
You see what I want to do is mount my 100GB fat32 formatted MP3 player in Gentoox and then use my laptop and a wireless network adapter to send files to it. So far I have the networking set up perfectly, I can connect and transfer files to and from the Xbox without problems - but for whatever reason that I can't fathom Gentoox refuses to 'see' or recognize it as a disk
To be clear my Mp3 player is an Archos AV7100 - which shows up as a disk drive automatically in Windows - and also in Ubuntu and Kanotix.
I suspect that this may have something to do with drivers - and that perhaps I need to load some kind of mass storage drivers and maybe edit my fstab file in some way in order to get the disk to be recognized by the system but I have no idea how to go about doing this.
Bare in mind that I have a standard Xbox partition table (although I have upgraded the hard drive) and that I am running Gentoox via a loopback file system from my E: partition and that my MP3 player is formatted in fat32. I would very much full read, write and execute permissions on this dive - so any advice on how to achieve this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
