Thanks, Mikkel.
Dumb question time - did the flash drive get mounted automaticly on /mnt/removable? This is what usualy happens when you plug one in. If you plug in a second one, it gets mounted on /mnt/removable2 or something like that.
I use only one flash drive.
If that did not happen, how did you try to mount the flash drive that generated that message?
I simply plug my flash drive.
Some information that would be helpfull:
What version on Mandrake?
10.1.
What is the output of "cat /etc/fstab"?
$ cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

Paul,
This has me stumped. If you did not try to mount the drive as a user, then you should not have gotten the error message. The standard hotplug settings will mount a flash drive on /mnt/removable unless it things the drive is realy a camera, and then it mounts it on /mnt/camera.
Now, if you had clicked on a desktop icon, and it generated this message, then I would want to start looking deeper at the window manager configuration.
At this point, unless someone else has a better idea, I think we are going to need to know more of the secquence when you plug in the flash drive.
Plug in the drive

Get the user can not mount /dev/sda1 messageWe need to know what goes on between plugging in the drive, and you getting the message.
