Try running

Code: Select all

sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
in a terminal and try mounting it again. If that doesn't work then run

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
to undo the first command.

What brand/model is it? Has it been formatted?

Plug it in, and then post the last 20-30 lines of output from

Code: Select all

dmesg
and also post a copy of your /etc/fstab file.

It looks like fstab has it listed as a cdrom. Delete this line from fstab, reboot, and try it again.

/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

I'm not sure what is happening. One suggestion would be to try and reformat it, and try again. I have heard of some USB sticks with U3 capability trying to mount as a CD. Yours might be one of those. Also check the properties(right click on icon) after plugging it in to see if anything looks funny.
