I messed up my linux mint 17.1, after using a sandisk 16gb flash drive. I was trying to make a bootable pen drive.

now when ever I boot up I get this error, dont matter if I have the disk in or not. and my system halts. I have to press S to bypass it. and it boots fine.

The disk drive for /mnt/usb-sandisk is not ready yet, or present.

I have tried updating my os,
tried editing the Disks automount
tried installing dconf-editor
tried using gsettings.

I am at a loss as of what to do, only thing I can think of is to format, or do a upgrade of linuxmint. please help.

using 64-bit mate linuxmint 17.1 rebecca.

Have a look in /etc/fstab - delete/comment the line if there.

If not be more specific as to when the message arises.

thank you my friend, i did sudo nano /etc/fstab and there was like 4 lines of bs about my sandisk. deleted all that and it boots right up.

thanks for the fast reply.
