Hi All,
I have a Create Zen Stone Plus and for some reason Xandros was detecting it and offering to ope it in different apps (File Manager, Music Manager, etc) but when I go into the drive it does not read properly.
So I had a different look on various forums and have found the below solution. Problem is that it works once (when I mount the device), but once I do that if I unplug the device, and then plug back in, the device id resets (it was first sdc1, then sdd1, now sde1).
1. Open up a console window:
- Simple Mode: CTL+ALT+T
- Advanced Mode: Click on console in the launch bar -> Applications -> Console.
2. Find which device code relates to your device:
- sudo fdisk -l
You should see multiple disks. It is highly likely that your device will start with 'sd', most likely sdb1 or sdc1 if you haven't plugged in other usb drives.
3. Create a mount directory
- sudo mkdir /mnt/<insertdrivenamehere>
where <insertdrivenamehere> represents the name you would like to call your drive.
4. Create link to mounted directory in home/user (optional)
- Advanced Mode: in File Manager go to File -> Create Symbolic Link
- Select the folder /mnt/<insertdrivenamehere>
If anyone has any suggestions for this it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers - Scott

I tried what you said but there are some steps missing or things that are not obvious to me...
On my eee, I tried mounting the Zen Stone Plus manually but I don't know what filesystem type to specify, this is what I got :
/media/ZEN Stone Plus> mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt/zenstone
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
/media/ZEN Stone Plus> dmesg | tail

i've been getting a similar 'wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0'
i'm trying to mount a .iso file, using 'sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 ~/file.iso /media/cdrom (the dirs i created to mount)
I'm somewhat of a linux newbie, so if help could be put in simple terms and examples it would be great.

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ./zen
works for me, in other words, have you tried letting the mount command work out the file system for itself?
and you need a number on the end of the device, so /dev/sdd1 rather than /dev/sdd . (It's the partition you need to mount rather than the device; you can get the number from the output of sudo fdisk -l )

Thanks er-um ! I mounted it succesfully and now I see the files. But why doesn't it do that by itself when I plug it in ? Do you have any idea ???
