USB Flash Drive Help

skooter
 I will that someone els take over my root can you help me but U must to have
    to be pasion

What?

What do you mean?

Hello Skooter,
what filesystem does the usb stick use ? If it is ntfs sometimes if there are errors on ntfs it becomes unmountable.
Greetings

hello,
open synaptic package manager(System--->Administration--->Synaptic Package manager)
search for "pmount" and "usbmount" package
mark it for installation and click apply

plugin your usb Flash Drive and computer will mount it automatically..
hope this help...

i tried that and i still get the same message, and the flash drive is file system is not ntfs, its fat something or other. if you guys got any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated, i really need this to work.

Another question: Could you please check what files/directories you can see in /media when unplugging all external devices ? Could be there is a directory with the same name as the usb stick ?
Does this only happen with this special flash drive or with any flash drive you try to mount ? Do you have the possibility to check with an external usb harddisk or any other flash drive ?

Greetings
Uwe

no, there is no directory with the same name. should i create one? how should i do this (be specific)? no this happens with other flash drives as well.

hello,
plug in your usb flash drive,open the terminal (Applications--->Accessories--->Terminal):
type in terminal:
sudo fdisk -l (-l = is lower L)
enter your password,

and paste the "sudo fdisk -l" output here,

skooter@Speed-Machine:~$ sudo fdisk -l

hello,
this result for your usb drive:
"Disk /dev/sdb: 2047 MB, 2047678976 bytes

have you use this usb drive before?
if you used this usb drive before, it's look like your usb drive has been infected by viruses.
if this is your first time to use this usb drive,just format it with "partition editor"(System--->Administration--->Partition Editor)
search for your usb device, "/dev/sdb/" and format it with "fat32" or as you want.(Dont make mistake here,very critical.Or you will wipe all your system!)

i need to ask one last question, how do i format it? i cant find a format option in "partition editor"
