FWIW: My usb stick did not mount as sda* because I was mounting it in a card
reader of several slots. My hardware management system decided that each slot
was "sde*" so check you syslog output & look at the output of dmesg.
What about SD chips from cameras. I have been struggling with one of those for
a month or so, off & on. I was getting the same message as Herb's stick, from
the SD chip. It also works fine in XP, so I am assuming there is no problem
with the card. BTW: it also shows a FAT system. I am using an I-DOT card
reader & my usb sticks work fine so I think its in my configs. Any ideas will
be appreciated.
Thanks!
