Good day everyone,
I have a Memory Stick Pro Duo card which has recently stopped working. I cannot mount it through automount or manually. Upon insertion (with automounting active) /var/log/messages reports the following errors:
Code:

(And so on...)
Now, my best guess is that there's a problem reading the partition table, so I'd hoped to use fdisk to fix the problem by rebuilding the table. Unfortunately, "fdisk /dev/sde" returns "Unable to read /dev/sde".
If anyone has any suggestions as to the nature of the problem or the solution, please post away.
