that a device you want to use needs to be formatted with any kind of filesystem should be clear indeed ...
the important part is that the device needs to be *partitioned* ... some windows applications format usb keys directly without creating a partition table, if your device shows up as /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdaX (where X is a number) in the output of dmesg after plugging it in, then it has no partition table. i would recommend using something like gparted to partition and format such an usb key. -- Jaunty Alpha 5: Usb stick (flash drive) does not pop up on the Gnome desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
