I now could mount /dev/sdb inside SUSE. BUt according to the manual of 
my USB Disk Pro, it has 2 partitions. Mounting /dev/sdb will only see 
the floppy partition, but not the harddisk partition. How could I find 
the harddisk partition?

fdisk /dev/sdb showed some garbages.

BTW, I couldn't see the floppy partition under Windows 2000 SP4, but the 
harddisk partition only.

any help would be appreciated.
