[SOLVED] Data

[Member Peter Linu]

Hiyall,
I transferred a small amount of data from my everyday computer to a USB formatted as ext4.
I then inserted it in the antiX-base laptop.
The OS discovered this;

Where do I find the USB with my data?

The usb you inserted is mounted at /media/peter/Live-usb (according to the image above). This is a typical live-usb file system setup. If you had formatted the usb as a generic usb storage device (for example, formatting it with: Start menu – Applications – antiX – Format USB), then the data folders would be visible under /media/peter/USB-DATA. (It would be under /media/peter, named something you chose when formatting, or generic, if you didn’t give it a label.)

Did you insert the correct usb?
I just inserted one of my data usbs. see the image below.

EDIT: I see you are under user “peter” – this makes me wonder if this screenshot was taken from an installed system, not a live system. I say this because “demo” is normally the user name on a live system….

Christophe,
Thanx again.
I keep forgetting that formatting in Mint is not the same as formatting in antiX, although it seems strange that they are different.
It works now.

I’m glad it works now.

But how is it different in Mint?

Can’t tell you. It’s the same process. I guess antiX has some exclusivity using its own system.
