I think many USB keys have pseudo-partitions, exactly like floppy disks.

You should be able to mount /dev/sda directly
fdisk /dev/sda will fail or displays a broken partition table.

I think, /dev/sda1 has worked before

anyway, mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk/
fails with the following error message :
mount: No medium found 

:-(

  Thanks for the help !
