EDIT: Sure you have Becomeroot installed?

I'm surprised no one saw this before,
change #!bin/sh to #!/bin/sh
then no need for "sh Otg.sh"

as for me, im'a a usb freak w/out an adapter :p, usbcontrol,usbserial,usbmouse,usblan,usbotg statusbar plugin & Mara's scripts

one thing I've noticed very often with flash drives and sometimes with external HDDs is that windows doesn't need a partition table, you can mkfs the "root" device (the equivalent of "mkfs /dev/sda" rather than "mkfs /dev/sda1"). windows will cheerfully mount this, but linux automounters might not.

so, check the disk has a partition table using "fdisk -l" on a full linux box.

in fact, my nokia e65 will refuse to work with the microSD card partitioned, it will ask to erase it and write a partition-less file system!
