I have a SanDisk Mini Cruzer 128MB USB key that won't work in Fedora
Core 1. I get this when I plug it into my IBM Thinkpad T40 (USB2):

Now when I try `mount /dev/sda1 temp/`, it sits for a few minutes, and finally returns this: 'mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device', and /var/log/messages has this:

I have had some success at formatting these types of key in Linux, but fdisk doesn't show sda at all (it cannot read the partition table). I tried the key on FC2test2, where I could fdisk it. But I still could not mount it on either OS.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Forrest
