was that usb key formatted under any other OS?

 

if you have a WINbox, try formatting it under FAT32.

 

if you DONT, then try the MCC and delete the current partiyiona nd re add a new one, then format

 

realize that noth these solutions will destroy and and all data that you have on the key.

Formatted phillips USB Flash Drive to fat32 in windows xp, no joy

 

used to work on 2006!!!

 

when i plug it in mandriva freezes. if i plug in before i start mandriva its ok, but cant read drive.

 

still get Protocol not supported, device???
