I have a SanDisk 4G thumbdrive that I have installed DSL onto and can run from (both booting to it and via QEMU); I can save my configuration to it as well.

However, I have saved some files to it while connected in Windows; (jpgs on the initial directory); and when I am connected in DSL; I can't see them.

I have navigated as far up and down the tree as I can in Emelfm, and no luck. Is there a different mount point? or maybe I need to put them in a different directory?

Also, how do I see the rest of the USB drive space. Its partitioned as a single FAT32 partition.

Add qemu to your boot options so that natively booted DSL can see/mount the virtual hard drive inside the Qemu booted environment.
