/dev/sda1: no such file or directory error flash install

[unckybob]

Hi,

I'm using 6.0 to install to a flash drive. In a flash-knoppix window I get the error:

/dev/sda1: no such file or directory

Can someone please help?

Thanks,
Bob

Use gparted to create / format the drive (sda1).
then it will work...

In all my laptop computers, /dev/sda1 is the first partition on the hard disk - I would hardly attempt a flash install there. But I copy the /knoppix directory over from the usb stick after everything is set up on the stick. Use FAT32 file system there.


You may try

fdisk -l

as root to see what the different disks and partitions are called.

I figured out the problem. I was sold a "Fake" drive. The manufacturer said it was 32G when it was actually 4G. Unfortunately, I ruined the drive figuring that out. Chalk that up to experience.

Thanks for all your help,
Bob
