Got a new 2GB memory stick and found out that on my system the stick is sometimes automatically recognized as /dev/sda1 but if I want to work with it it tells me it does not exist. Mounting /dev/sda1 gives the same information. Can somebody tell me how to force this USB stick to work on my computer. Other USB products like a cardreader and a smaller USB stick (which I do not have at hand at the moment) are working properly. What should I do?
Is it formatted? Plug it in and check with "dmesg" if it was recognised and where/if it was mounted. When you have it mounted, you can right-click on it (assuming you are using KDE, not sure abou Gnome) and under the "Mounting" tab you can specify where it should be mounted in the future.
