e260r mount error Ubunutu

[Gatch]

Below is the error message I get when player is attached in "Rhapsody" mode. When in "PlaysForSure" mode it opens Rhythmbox player.

Any ideas?

Try mounting it manually to see if it works. If it doesn't, post the errors from your /var/log/messages.

I'm not sure how to manually mount this device. Would it be:

sudo mkdir /media/sansa

sudo mount -t vfat/dev/sda2/media/sansa

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu.
Thanks for your help.

First you don't really need the -t option, since the system is smart enough to guess a vfat partition- of course there is no harm using it. Secondly /dev/sda2 is worng- partition 2 is the 16 Mb hidden system partition. Using this:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sansa

Also are you sure that it is sda? sda is the first hard drive.

What is the output of:

sudo fdisk -l

when the device is plugged in?

Like I suspected. Make sure /media/sansa exists. The mount command is:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sansa

The message I get is:

steve@steve-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sansa
mount: mount point /media/sansa does not exist

The mount command worked to get the icon on the desktop.
I can browse & remove files from the device.

However, I cannot drop anything into the file browser. ("You do not have permission to write to this folder")

Amarok does not recognize the device when I try to connect to it.

It also will not unmount from the icon command.
The window says: "Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL."
I was able to unmount it from the terminal.

I am encouraged by the progress thus far and I appreciate your patience.
