> you try mounting it? Yes. It mounts automatically when the drive is inserted. And proof that it is properly mounted is shown by the fact that I can copy files to it and from it. Also, fdisk -l finds and shows the device: >> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System >> /dev/sdb1 * 32 7821311 3910640 b W95 FAT32 However, when I try to run 'unetbootin' it states: "No USB drive is found." I have tried umount and reformatting it, both of which work fine. So how can I get 'unetbootin' to find it? --------------------------------- > On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 10:48 PM, wrote: >> What do I need to do to get my system to "see" a formatted USB flash >> drive? >> >> After inserting a USB flash drive, as root, 'df' shows this: >> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on >> /dev/sda1              12G  2.6G  8.7G  24% / >> /dev/sda6              23G 1001M   22G   5% /home >> /dev/sdb1             3.8G  4.0K  3.8G   1% /media/disk >> >> And fdisk -l shows this: >>   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System >> /dev/sda1   *          63    25189919    12594928+  83  Linux >> /dev/sda2        25189920    78156224    26483152+   5  Extended >> /dev/sda5        25189983    31230359     3020188+  82  Linux swap / >> Solaris >> /dev/sda6        31230423    78156224    23462901   83  Linux >> >> Disk /dev/sdb: 4004 MB, 4004511744 bytes >> 116 heads, 51 sectors/track, 1322 cylinders, total 7821312 sectors >> Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes >> Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes >> I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes >> Disk identifier: 0x00000000 >> >>   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System >> /dev/sdb1   *          32     7821311     3910640    b  W95 FAT32 >> >> But when I try to run 'unetbootin' no USB drive is found. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
