Re: [debian-knoppix] USB Pen Drives.
John,
You may have to re-format them before use. Some come
with a strange partition table that Linux doesn't
like. There is a post about this on the Libranet
forum:

Before you use the pen drive, try running cfdisk on
it. If cfdisk fails, you will need to re-format it.
Use fdisk to create a blank DOS partition table, then
use qtparted to create a single FAT32 partition and
format it.
I highly recommend the "Intelligent Stick" from PQI.
The 128 MB version is $31 from Newegg:

It has the smallest form factor and two of them will
fit in a credit card sized case for your wallet.
