Any suggestions? Use fdisk to check the partition table. The drive should have at least one partition. Use mkfs to make a filesystem. If you want device portability, you should probably create a VFAT partition and use the VFAT option to mkfs. However I have had cases where this doesn't work well, especially with a USB flash drive -- not a microSD -- that's been used a lot. I've had to format the drive on a Windows machine, which (so far) has always recovered it. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
