Aaron,

there is a small mistake in one of my post:

You wrote:

Probably (1) there is no partition table, (2) the partition table is wierd, or (3) the device is not working.

(1) Some usb drives come with no partition table, just one giant partition.

    Like a floppy. Try and mount /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1.

(2) Some usb drives have added "features" like encrypted partitions.

    These are proprietary and I have never heard of them working in Linux.

    If this is the case, you can try and re-partition the drive.

    Of course you will loose everything on it.

(3) sorry.

and it sorted out to be 1 (instead of 2.....)
Tnx
