My sister uses one that needed to be reflashed with a UMS image so that it actually works as a UMS device. Anyway, can you possibly run: fdisk -l /dev/sda and see what partitions there are? The -l option just lists partitions without writing anything. Sometimes UMS devices don't exactly have /dev/sda1 as the mountable partition. dex
