Ubuntu

cannot mount usb memory stick

Asked by shane wiley

I have bought a USB FLASH DRIVEIVE 4Gb. Format is FAT32
It worked well at first and I could copy files to it etc. Then in my ignorance I unplugged without first unmounting it. After that it became read only. In properties I tried to change it to rw.
When plugged in it now says
Cannot mount volume.
Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume.

In windows ME I cannot reformat the drive. Have I wrecked it for good or can it be fixed in Ubuntu 7.04?

Thanks
