Most likely, the partition table of the pen is read when the device is *accessed* for the first time (by the 'fdisk' command), at which point /dev/sda1 gets created. The solution is to access the device first (e.g. by typing 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' and then mount /dev/sda1. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
