[SOLVED] Trouble with new USB

[Alex]

Just to be sure I know exactly what has happened, are you saying that you re-ran dd command (with fixed "bs=4K") and it only took 16 minutes?

Yes I re-ran the corrected dd command and it was finished in 16 minutes

The GParted pic you posted -- is that what it looked like after zeroing out?  Or did you add that FAT32 partition to it yourself?

I followed your instructions. These were: to repartition the drive using Gparted after zeroing. I used fat32 to make it compatible with Win.

As far as your error message goes, can you tell us exactly how you are trying to mount the drive?  What are the exact steps you're trying?

I plug in the drive

It shows up on the desk top



I right click on it

I left click on the "mount volume"



Immediately I get the error message shown a few times above

I also get the same error message if I left click on the "open"
