chkdsk and bad sector?

[fluidmotion]

how do u check bad sector in USB flash drive, (this is in drive G)?
i followed someone's instruction, but that did not work.

Fluidmotion,

You might try this in a command prompt (with administrative privileges): "chkdsk X: /r", without quotes and where X is your USB drive.

I also found this link. However, :warn: it is only something I looked up through a quick google search, so use at your own risk. From the ehow.com website: http://www.ehow.com/how_6055690_test-flash-memory-pen-drive.html

You got this "can not mount" error in Ubuntu or in Windows? When exactly did it pop up?

 

[fluidmotion]

error message popped up in ubuntu,
after i changed boot order,
and ubnutu was booting from usb flash drive.

Did you change boot order on flash? If so, you hosed the install on the flash and will have to start over.

 

[fluidmotion]

yep,
changed boot order,
USB diskette on key/USB hard disk is the first in order.

I have an idea... If I remember correctly Unetbootin uses a linux based system, so maybe you can use Ubuntu live cd to help you fix the boot order back? Worth a try!
