hello all . i am having a problem mounting my flash drive. and i really need to retrieve some documents from it.
hoping to get some solutons soon. peace.

What is the problem you're having? If you don't tell us, we can't help.

i installed linux recently. i still have windows runnin on anoda partition. from the hardware browser i cant even see my device name.
so i dont know wat to use in the /mnt/device_name, perhaps i am even going bout it wrongly. so some help is really needed at this point.

Open a terminal and run "dmesg" (without quotes). Post the end of it here (all the stuff that relates to USB).

thanks alot i appreciate, i will run it and post the results here. take care.

That says nothing about your device. Did you run dmesg after plugging it in?
