Hmmmm, now it tells me "wrong fs type, bad option,bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems.
I changed it to /dev/sda to see if that would overcome /dev/sda1 does not
exist, but usbview shows:

The usb thing seems to be a stumbling block for the newbie who is not used to
command line or knowing computers very well. I seem to have a problem with
it and I've been using linux for two years now. Bummer, Any other
suggestions or configs are appreciated. Thanks,
