Hi

THank you. Entered the command and then it got weird. Flash disk  
blinked steadily for a few minutes ( I assume formatting) at the end 
tried to mounbt the disk and got the SAME ERROR.

Put the disk back in Windows and there were still files on it. It had 
not been formatted.

I think I'll just leave it for now, thank you everyone for your help.
