To a computer, there is no such thing as 'a USB flash disk'... there is instead a very specifically constructed piece of solid state storage media, with a precise and exact name, which the plug-and-play operating system (Ubuntu 5.10 in this case) will attempt to identify, and find a matching driver for. If the operating system has an acceptable driver for that specific 'USB flash disk'... ...then the operating system will be able to recognise it, and access the data on the device... ...else... the device will fail to be recognised. -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ .
