Re: Mouting USB Flash Drive with RH 7.1

[IAK Tanoli <sendtoimtiaz@xxxxxxxxx>]

dd command used to write image file on destination disk assuming destination disk is floppy.

I plugged the flash drive into my Windows XP machine and it asked if I
wanted to format it. I formatted it as FAT32 now I can successfully mount
it on my RH 7.1 Linux system again.

Now I just have to figure out what happened when I did the 'dd' command. I
copied over a RH boot.img which I believe is a fat filesystem and a
drvnet.img which is a ext2 filesystem. I tried to mount with a -t option
and the type of filesystem but kept getting errors.
