You need to create filesystems on the pen drive. Do an

like it. If you don't, you need to partition the drive and make a
filesystem on it using fdisk and "mkfs -t ext3" or "mkfs -t vfat" (for
a DOS-compatible filesystem).
If you do get a partition, see what the filesystem type is and specify
that using the "-t" option of mount:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
(that assumes a vfat filesystem).
I followed teh instructions above, then tried to mount it again as above
and got the same error. However....bit of thinking, I tried mounting it
with mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash (no 1 after the sda) and it
works.
Weird. What does "fdisk /dev/sda" show when it's plugged in?
I had to pop the disk into a Windows machine and re-format it
first (though it WAS formatted as FAT, I re-did it as Fat32).
You could've mounted it with "-t msdos" without the reformat.
Many, many thanks.
You're welcome.
Now to try the Clie with USB connection......
Ooooooo! Don't have a Clie, but my Visor Prism works peachy.
