Thanks, Flash. #1 The LS-120 disk is formatted by Imation. Secondly, every disk inserted into the drive behaves the same; they hang. This makes me wonder; if lsusb recognizes the device, perhaps the appropriate driver(s) are not installed, for both the E-USB device and the drive. If all appropriate ...

Have the drive plugged in when you boot up the Live CD. When you get to a working desktop. Insert a LS-120 disk into drive. Hopefully a drive icon will show on desktop for the drive. It will be identified with a name. Start the program Gparted and select the LS-120 drive as the device to look at. H...

In Puppy Xenialpup 7.5 in the Puppy Package Manager(PPM) First do a update of the database. Configure>Update Database. Do a search for HFS+ There w...

Not too many people ever used LS-120 drives with Puppy, but it was suppose to be supported in the early days of Puppy. Try one of the older versions of Puppy. Puppy 4.3.1 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-4.3.1/ Lucid 5.2.8-005 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-5.2.8/ Precise 5.7....

is this drive formatted for HFS Plus or HFS+ ? Imart, have you read this thread? Maybe you could take the drive to someplace that has Apple computers for sale and ask them to try to read it. At least that might tell you how it's formatted. You say that Puppy recognizes the drive but won't mount it?...

From your reply to my question above, it seems you haven't tried any of the Puppy Linuxes. I'd say, boot any Puppy CD or DVD you happen to have and see if it will read the data. You won't have to install anything and if it won't work, no harm done. How much trouble would it be for you to plug the S...

:D Hello, From what I have read on the internet and my experience with similar types of drives, it should be Plug and Play. Puppy should see it as a USB floppy Drive.... I have several similar iomega drives, Puppy mounted and read them fine. #Edit.. As a matter of fact I was able to boot from them....

Thanks for your reply Flash. Tried numerous things/OSes. Win: Each version from XP to Win10. They recognize the drive but will not r/w. I do not know if Win had a driver. Google searches were unproductive. Linux: Several distros, going back 4-5 LiveCD releases, including Ubuntu, Knoppix and several ...
