This really seems bizarre - you're saying that it shows up in dmesg
as /dev/sda, but 'ls /dev/sda' shows 'No such file or directory' ?!
Please report the *exact* dmesg and ls output here.
How can i find my pen drive ???? so i can format it.
If you can't find it, you have worse problems than formatting. One
thing at a time.
ok!
Now in my house, this is my dmesg
dmesg | tail
[ 6549.064607] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
[ 6549.064612] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00
[ 6549.064616] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 6549.089712] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 1003520 512-byte hardware sectors (514
MB)
[ 6549.096014] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
[ 6549.096014] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00
[ 6549.096014] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 6549.096014] sdb: unknown partition table

[ 6549.128012] sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
so i do:
e/germana# ls /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb
and i can not see anything
but i use:
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disco /dev/sdb: 513 MB, 513802240 bytes
16 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1011 cylinders
Units = cilindros of 992 * 512 = 507904 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
and i can see this is my pen drive.... or not??
should i do something else?
