Pen drive suddenly stopped showing up on windows . tryin gto load it through ubuntu.
I am trying to load a pen drive on ubuntu that is not even being detected on Ubuntu. On windows, it is being detected but doesn't open and the option to perform a format pops up. I have treid using commands from previous simlar questions asked at this forum. All I came to know was that, the pendrive is detected in Terminal. But it cannot be opened. Please help.

fdisk or parted will show you the partitions on the device. Plug the device in and see what device node it has with either, Code:
dmesg | tail Code:
lsblk Code:
udisks --show-info /dev/sd? |

Looks like the drive is /dev/sdg
Code:
sdg 8:96 1 7.6G 0 disk Can you mount it manually? You know what fs it has on it? Code:
#parted -l Code:
mkdir ~/drive Code:
mount /dev/sdg1 ~/drive Code:
ls ~/drive I've never done Ubuntu, maybe someone can add something more useful. |
This is what the output was.
sumedhrg@sumedhrg-h9-1325in:~$ mkdir ~/a
sumedhrg@sumedhrg-h9-1325in:~$ mount /dev/sdg1 ~/a mount: only root can do that sumedhrg@sumedhrg-h9-1325in:~$ |
sudo mount /dev/sdg1 ~/a
Use your primary username password. It is being detected but not automatically mounted. Look at the output of the dmesg command to see if there are any errors. |
