Having trouble accessing my videos stored on my flash drive (Fedora 21)

I'm new to Linux
and I'm having trouble accessing my flash drive.
I go to File-> usb folder, then I get this error message:

Quote:

Error mounting /dev/sdd1 at /run/media/apacheomega/PICODEGALLO: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdd1" "/run/media/apacheomega/PICODEGALLO"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

I went to my terminal then tried this method

Code:

 /dev/sda1
bash: /dev/sda1: Permission denied

and further this

Code:

 /dev/sda1
bash: /dev/sda1: Permission denied

None of it works. Can anybody help me out here?

Thank You
AO!

/dev/sda1 is a device, with the number indicating the partition.

Looking from the error, it looks like /dev/sdd1 is not mounting because the filesystem exfat is not known.

Try installing this?

I don't know what os you are using, but if it is debian based

Code:

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse

I can't imagine how the message could be clearer.
On Fedora, this will tell you appropriate package availability

Code:

yum search exfat

I enetered the command and got this:

Then I entered:
