usb device is not working

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; mount; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Sorry Andrew but unfortunately I am not computer literate - just switch it on and hope for the best.

Only know USB sticks were working one day and the next nothing.

Anyway you can help me ????

Press CTRL+ALT+T, copy the command I gave and paste to the terminal, hit enter then copy the text output and paste it here

Greg we still need the output from the the first part of the command. Do you know the password for your account? Open a terminal window again and type

sudo fdisk -l

and press <enter>. When it asks for your password type it accurately and press enter. You will not get any feedback on the screen when you type the password - Just type it correctly and press enter. Paste the results of the command here.

Hi Chris

Unfortunately I don't remember password for our account - can you help with this?
