I use FC3 kernel 2.6.9-1.667 and when I plug my USB pen drive in and

If I open a super user terminal and go to /dev and type 'MAKEDEV sda1'
it makes it, but says it doesn't say that it is a valid block device.
WHY??
Perhaps this KDE utility needs configuring? Is it pointing to the
location of the actual device? If you run 'mount', does it show
anything about your thumb drive already being mounted to a different
mount point?
Also note that "/dev/sda1" is a specific partition on your thumb drive.
Many thumb drives don't have partition 1, but rather use partition
4, a.k.a. "/dev/sda4". Try mounting that. or run "fdisk -l /dev/sda"
to get a listing of which partitions ARE on the thumb drive.
