Hi,

When you plugin the device, do you get any messages? Also try plugging in the device, then run Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and enter

dmesg

Post the last 10 lines. Is there anything about a new usb device being plugged in?

No I don't.

okey I execute this instruction : dmsg and the last 10 line is:

Is there any one to solve my problem ??

The last time I had that message, it was because I was plugging into a duff usb port. Have you tried a different port? USB 1 and 2 are both recognised by Linux.

I think we need to rule out a hardware problem first. Have you checked that other usb items are working on ALL your usb ports? Plug the flash memory into a usb port and start the terminal. Type in lsusb (lower case L) is the memory card listed? Post the output. Type in sudo fdisk -l (again it's a lower case L) and see if it has been recognised, and post the output. Does it work on a windows machine?
