You can try formatting it, e.g. mkfs.vfat /dev/mypendrive A side note/tip: It can be good to mount these types of drives with -o sync. I've pulled out my usb flash drive by mistake before it was really done because without option sync cp and mv would return as soon as the operation was queued. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
