Well, that's the thing: I'm not sure that there is a mess. At least not as far as parted is concerned, which can read the partition table properly. I suspect that fdisk (unlike parted) is not capable of reading the device correctly. I forgot to say that when mounted the USB stick shows not partitions (i.e. there is no sdb1, sdb2, etc.) To access the fs I must do something like: pmount /dev/sdb and then all is lists under /media/sdb. It is like a big floppy. -- Regards, Mick
