So I need something that will give out over 5v? Bit of a design flaw from the battery then?.. preferably I wanted to be able to use this running on the battery pack. where I wouldnt need a power socket.

Yeah works fine on my computer, both Paritions show up. This is a brand new drive that came with my pineapple 2 days ago, I created a single 4GB ext4 partition and still no luck. It would appear my usb has /dev/sda and /dev/sg0, I cannot mount either of these. I get "invalid argument".

update with some DMESG outputs. root@Pineapple:~# dmesg | grep usb [ 6.250000] Registered led device: alfa:blue:usb [ 10.590000] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs [ 10.590000] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub [ 10.600000] usbcore: registered new device driver usb [ 11.610000] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [ 11.720000] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform [ 11.870000] scsi0 : usb-storage 1-1:1.0 [ 34.450000] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73usb [ 34.590000] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187 [ 34.660000] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb [ 36.970000] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc [ 37.220000] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [ 37.230000] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 37.240000] usbserial: USB Serial Driver core [ 37.280000] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether [ 37.490000] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host root@Pineapple:~# dmesg | grep sda [ 12.880000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 131072 512-byte logical blocks: (67.1 MB/64.0 MiB) [ 12.880000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 12.890000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 12.890000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] No Caching mode page present [ 12.890000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 13.010000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] No Caching mode page present [ 13.010000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 13.020000] sda: unknown partition table [ 13.030000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] No Caching mode page present [ 13.030000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 13.040000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk root@Pineapple:~#

just double checked and redid it with GParted, Definitely in Primiary mode and both Partitions are ext4. I have tried in GParted. Gnome Disk utility, and I have also tried minitool partition wizard on windows

Thanks for your replies guys USB is plugged directly into the pineapple, Must have removed an inserted over a dozen times? USB light is on both pineapple and the USB itself. I am in UK and the powersupply provided was for US, I am using the USB power from my main computers USB slot. I have also tried from Battery but as USB hardware is being detected and lights are on, I do not believe this to be a power issue Thanks

Hi all, I didnt really want to make a new thread, so - before everyone tells me to search through the forum, I already have. I found plenty of exensive posts on how to get the USB working, but nothing. and I mean NOTHING is working for me right now. Im using the SanDisk 4GB cruzer as provided with the pineapple. I have Partitioned several times in Ubuntu/Windows using Ext4 and Swap. Using several differnt guides (from the booklet and forums) (80% for 1st partition and 20% for 2nd) I have finally been able to get the device recognised by the pineapple root@Pineapple:~# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0781:5530 SanDisk Corp.

I've even tried adding a sleep field in the /etc/init.d/fstab file above the Start field. If someone could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks
