View Full Version : [ubuntu] Sandisk Cruzer Micro (8GB) won't mount

I'm running Fiesty from a live CD. I've mounted this same drive before, and read from and written to it with no problems. When I connected it today, Ubuntu sent an error message saying that it couldn't mount the drive because my system doesn't support the file system (vfat (FAT32)).

This is news to me.

What does it mean, 'my system'? That's a little vague. Ubuntu doesn't support FAT32? Something else?

I'm considering using mkdosfs and recopying everything from my old drive, but I'll wait for other suggestions.

Thanks. :D

It works fine after a reboot, which is actually the only time rebooting has ever solved a problem for me (though when the problem is the OS itself you can't do much, hm?).
