Reading a usb thumb drive on arcaos 5.1.1

(1/3) > >>

Dan Eicher:
I formatted a 8GB thumb drive as fat32, when I plug it in, I get detected.

But, when I go to inventory the disk is says empty, command line dir also shows no files.

How do I get it to work, as it should?

Eugene Tucker:
I suggest yo let the ARCANOAE utility setup the drive. It will use FAT16 for the paticians.

Assuming this is a pre-formatted USB stick, it probably lacks LVM information. One solution is to get DFSee from Hobbes (if you don't already have it); start DFSEE (DFSOS2) from the Desktop menu; DfSee will display the drives on your system, uncluding (hopefully) the USB stick

 From the menu choose Edit/edit LVM info; choose your USB stick; in the pop-up window, assign * as the drive letter; click OK, then File/Exit. This, if I've got it right, usually works.

Dan Eicher:
Will adding the LVM information cause Windows to be unhappy?

Is there an article or video that uncovers where the LVM information is stored and what it includes?
