PRS-600 Cannot mount internal memory on Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-17-generic

[marcchehab]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

I can usually fix my issues well, but not it seems I'm really stuck. My ubuntu doesn't recognise the internal memory of my prs-600. My memory stick in the prs-600 works. But I cannot use calibre obviously.

The device is recognised as /dev/sdc but without any partitions, fdisk shows an empty partition table. Dmesg gives me this.

can you maybe help me? if you need any more info, I'm happy to provide it.

Could you try mounting /dev/sdc directly? Maybe it's not partitioned but just has the filesystem directly on the block device?

From a terminal, run:

sudo mount /dev/sdc /path/to/some/empty/folder

I was just gonna write that in linux sdc is the whole harddrive but sdc1,2,3,4... the partitions. I never in my life saw u can mount the whole harddrive and access data.

but this time it works hehe. weird. do u know how I can get it to automount?
