There could be two possible situations: 1. You didn't unmount the drive properly. That's some things new Linux users don't do. They assume if they just yank it out like they done in Windows, no harm, no foul. So, it's possible your partition table is screwed.
If you have backed it up, run gparted. You might see that the drive has a partition table that is messed up. Go to Devices > Create partition table and a warning will pop up informing you you will erase all that is on the device. Make sure 'msdos' is selected and then click OK. Then format it as fat32. But if you haven't, apt-get install testdisk. The instructions are beyond the scope of this bug report. 2. Your USB disk is toast. This is not that common, but it does happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412319 Title: ubuntu not recognize my usb flash drive?
