I have been a mint user/admirer for some time. I want to move to Mint 15 (mate), I have 3 SB hard drives with critical data. With 15/Olivia all usb sticks and two of the three hard drives mount, no problem, however one drive won't mount. Works fine with mint 14 and with Ubuntu, I can't move forward without it, does anyone have a similar problem (or better still a solution).

Re: Mate 15 won't mount usb drive
When you insert the thumb drive, enter a terminal and type fdisk -l. If your thumb drive is listed, it will give you a device and partition name, such as /dev/sdg1 .
You can then attempt to force the mount by using these commands:Substitute your actual device/partition name for /dev/sdg1, of course. This should mount the drive, if it is recognized, on /media/thumb1 mount point for access by your file manager.
You can then attempt to force the mount by using these commands:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /media/thumb1
sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/thumb1
