mkdir /mnt/usb
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
cd /mnt/usb
ls
Try this, if it doesn't work, you need to find which device controls your flash drive.
1. Create a directory in /mnt to hold the drive. Something like /mnt/flash
2. Open up a virtual terminal and type in: "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash"
If it says that the device doesn't exist, isn't present, not functioning, spontaenously combusted, etc. etc. etc. than /dev/sda1 isn't you flash device, or you don't have flash drive support in your kernel. If successful, than it was successful.
Thanks for the help!!
I managed to acces my file in the flask disk...
If I might ask, what brand are you using?
I'm too thinking of getting one but not quite of the driver support under Linux.
it counts as a usb file system, they all should work. tigerdirect has some nice ones, works for me.
