I think I ran into a problem with the Sandisk 1G usb stick and it was due to the file system on the disk. I ran into one type. On further searching the stick had to be reformatted and a new file system added to work with Linux. It was in the owners manual that I got from the WWW site. Full step by step procedures.
I use a 1Gig Lexar Jumpdrive that I had to remake the file system before it would work.
I have a pdf manual for a USB 2.0 Flash Drive and it gives the same details.
Robin,
I looked at the SanDisk web site and perhaps I am going blind, but other than regular product literature, I could not locate the tech manual.
Do you have the URL?
Thanks.
Marc
I don't know if the manual I have is for Sandisk or not. There is no product identified in any of the text.
If Sandisk does the same, the file system isn't a default format.
I will send you the file that I have.
Got it! Thanks Robin!
Marc
I asked and found the brand name of the memstick for the manual I sent you and found that it is Apacer.

As it states, you have to change the file system.
