I was using a geekstick (Sandisk Cruzer 4 GB) when the power went out suddenly. It doesn't boot any more. My thought was to format it, and re-install the bootable Crunchee (clone of crunchbang linux) that it had before. Inserted into this machine, it automounts, and Properties shows it as /media/disk. When I try to format it, either to FAT or to ext2, it pops up an error saying permission is denied -- for /dev/sdc I ran both chown -r btth:btth both against /media/disk and against /dev/sdc; it seemed to complete normally (or at least, without any message) both times. But gnome-format still fails, still with the same error. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
