Mounting Flash Drive

cdarrah010 · 12-31-2009, 06:05 AM

I have tried that which was listed above on linux mint felicia, and the only result i could pull from it was that permission was denied when i put in

Quote:

~ $ /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey vfat umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,quiet 0 0

and when i input fdisk -l it just took me to the next line down instead of outputting any data

i still am unable to use my flashdrive for anything but reading from it

By the way... I am a complete linux tech noob

Linux Mint should not have this problem. Please post the error you get when trying to write a file into it.

If you really wanna try that line, the line was meant to be put inside the fstab file.

Code:

$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Also you should NOT be using /dev/sda1, you should use:

Code:

$ sudo fdisk -l

To find out what your flashdisk device is.

The error i receive is "error while copying to "44E2-2871"

when i input sudo fdisk -l i got this

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

where would i go from here?

You sure /dev/sdc is your flash drive? It looks pretty screwed up. U are still able to read from it? I suggest copying out all the data & try to repartition the drive.
It's possible the flash drive is dying.
