Should list the drive in a way, so that you can identify it. The drive must also be recognized as a mass storage device for example by the command line tool lsblk. You get more details with the verbose option lsusb -v The drive cannot be found: In order to use the tools for repair and partitioning, that are available to normal users like you and me, the drive must be recognized by the computer's system and listed for example by the command line tool lsusb or lspci.

The term 'drive' can refer to a USB pendrive as well as a memory card (and the memory card can be connected via a USB adapter or a built-in slot in the computer).Ĭonfusion: There is some data in the drive, that makes the partitioning tool confused, to think that the drive does not work. Memory cards and USB pendrives have the same kind of hardware inside, so the same methods are relevant to both kinds of devices.
