Hi

I am a new (i.e. naive) user of Bio-linux and I've been trying to read
some files from my Flashdrive but couldn't get into it

On the Konsole (as manager) I typed...

mount /media/usbkey

mount: can't find /media/usbkey in etc/fstab or etc/mac..

I sudo nano /etec/fstad and added  the following line...

/dev/sda/ /media/usbkey vfat user,rw 0 0

Then, I tried the mount commad again...

However, got the following error

mount: /dev/sda/ already mounted or /media/usbkey busy. Please check that
the disk is entered correctly.

I've also tried to get into the flashdrive with Konqueror
--->Devices---->sda, but obviously got the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance!

/Jose
