Using a Flash drive
Hi Folks,
Quick question, I hope, and apologies if it's a daft one. My eCS 1.2
Thinkpad happily does things with my USB flash drive, but I'me not
quite sure how I should be starting and stoping it. I have noticed
that any attempt t o access it (through File -> Open, say) gets an
error message unless I do a DIR E: from the command line first.
Similarly EJECT E: seems to be the way to get the wee light to stop
flashing. Are those the official ways of mounting/unmounting the drive
or should I be doing something else? It would be particularly useful
not to have to do the DIR E: business...
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Yes, the eject is required. To mount it, use the 'refresh removable
media' object in the drive folder.

Thanks. The Refresh ... object doesn't do very much, or at least not
very fast. Dir works instantly ...
