The path to your device node appears to contain unicode. Is that an
e-mail artifact, or did you feed a unicode path to dd? This is why I
said "paste your console session into a reply" -- so we can verify the
command that was actually run.
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: No medium found
root@audio2:/home/martin# ls /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc
Plain 'ls' isn't very useful. The -l switch provides more information.
Please unplug all extraneous USB devices, leave the Kingston drive
plugged in, run the following commands, and paste your console session
into a reply:
# ls -l /dev/sdc
# lsusb
What happens if you connect the Kingston drive into a Windows machine?
David
