Topic: Problems mounting usb pendrive

When I insert my usb pendrive this is the error I get:

Failed to mount "4G Removable Volume".

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so.

I have successfully mounted it in both Windows 7 and gparted.  I successfully reformatted it to ext4 in gparted, but this did nothing. hmm

Does anyone have any ideas or could direct me in the right direction? big_smile

Thankyou!

Re: Problems mounting usb pendrive

Okay, not sure if it solves it, but found a work around:

Involves commenting out  

 /dev/sdc1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

in /etc/fstab .
