This is usually because Linux has not detected a partition table on the device which specifies a partition. ‘no medium found’ means that the device is responding in a way that indicates to the OS that there is no actual media on which to store, or from which to retrieve, anything. Kind of like plugging in a USB CD or DVD drive but not putting a CD or DVD in it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
