| Quote (xheavenlyx @ Feb. 23 2007,08:04) | Ohmy, I am having the same problem and stumbles along this page. I will explain the problem in short n easy way:
1. I have a 256MB USB Pen drive. First time it worked perfectly. Mounting and dissmounting.
2. Screrwd it by installing linux on "sda" thinking it was my hard drive few months back. (First time user ^_^) |
Did you install GRUB or LILO? What's in your pen's MBR now?

3. This week Reformatted with windows XP as FAT32, works well in windows. |
Did you do a right-click format device or a command from prompt? If you installed GRUB or LILO when you installed DSL (assuming you were using DSL), did you clear out the MBR before reformatting?

4. In DSL Gets detected and displays as 'sda4' 'unmounted' at startup.
Now When I try to mount it I get the error
| Code Sample | | "Error: or to many mounts to handle" (there is blank space b4 or) |
|
It should be setting a point at sda1. Copy your "fdisk -l /dev/sda" here, please. (That's a lower-case L.)

And yes I have no other mounts at the same time. My hda1 is being mounted perfectly. + I have installed DSL on my harddrive and am also inserting the usb pre-boot so hotplug can detect it.
|
Hotplug should also detect it and set a point when you're already booted. Have you tried that as well?

(Another problem is I cant see the status on fdisk since it gives a error 'cannot access dev/hda1 & cannot access dev/sda4'. That I will look for in other posts.) |
Try it without partition numbers: /dev/hda and /dev/sda.
