WHen I plug in my USB Zip, it doesn't seem to be recognized. There is a
/media/zip mount point, but when I issue mount -t vfat /dev/sda4
/media/zip, I get:
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device

Of course, the drives seems to work in window$.

When I try to use my sandisk cruzer mini, it will automounmt once, but
after it will not remount.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
