I want to get Tails on a usb drive. I went to the Tails website
followed the instructions to the letter.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I have a 64 gig usb
drive set to use. In this instance it is /<i>dev/sdd1</i><span
style="font-style: normal">.
I chose the command line installation process. I went through
the key
verifying process and some of it worked, most didn’t. </span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">Next
step, download the image. It went to </span><i>home</i><span
style="font-style: normal">/</span><i>dad</i><span
style="font-style: normal">.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">Next
step, installing using dd. I followed that to the letter. </span><span
style="font-style: normal">It
took a couple of minutes to do and the curser went to the normal
prompt. Not only did I not get the Tails distro </span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">Now
I’m supposed to restart my (Mint 19.1) system and get to the
start
screen. But the usb drive isn’t found. I went back to the
command
line and entered df -h. No 64 gig usb drive. I pulled the usb
out of
the slot and reentered it. Still no 64 gig drive.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">The
last time this happened, I had to go to Windows 10 so it could
recognize the usb drive. I noo longer have a working copy of Win
10.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">Is
there some way to force the command line readout to see the usb
drive? I can go the computer icon on the desktop and see the usb
drive. When I try to open it I get "Unable to mount location".
Any ideas?</span></p>
