FAT should work, but it probably won't show up in the Tracker mount menu if the disk scanner isn't implemented, so you'll have to use mountvolume or even mount directly: mkdir /whatever; sync mount -t fat /dev/disk/.../0_n /whatever François.
Hi, Thanks. I tried manually mounting the partition, but it seams I can't mount it as Haiku doesn't recognise the partition. It was set up for Fat16, then I tried Fat32/VFAT. In each occasion I didn't have a /0_n/ entry to mount... Perhaps I have an issue with the partition table? It works fine in Linux... Euan
