it appears that msdos and vfat
just point to each other (man
mkfs.vfat is<br>
the man for mkfs.msdos). Is this
correct? So then it doesn't matter

"-t vfat" or "-t msdos". What

So what is the option, "-t

First question to
answer is: Is the

detected?<br>
Unplug the drive,
wait a minute and
do:<br>

cat /proc/partitions

Then<br>
diff
/tmp/junk-lsusb-?.txt<br>
If you see at leas
one line you are
good, otherwise you
are dead in<br>
the<br>
water.<br>
If you can see the
device, then:<br>
diff
/tmp/junk-partitions-?.txt<br>
That's your
partition.<br>
Depending on what
you have (if you
have) next steps are
different.<br>
YMMV...<br>

Okay, when I was

a drive that was<br>
too<br>
small. (bummer)
now, when I stick
that device in
nothing happens<br>
(the<br>
nice<br>
little file
manager doesn't

think that is
because I<br>
created<br>
a<br>
label for this

to myself how to
fix it. What I<br>
think<br>
of<br>
is mkfs. What is a
generic filesystem
I can use on
microsoft<br>
computers<br>
too?<br>
is xtfs the best
or should I go
with fat 16/32? or
am I incorrect<br>
that<br>
this<br>
will fix the
