Removable drives and mounting them?
by Novatian from LinuxQuestions.org on (#576WW)
I have two computers and on both two removable drives I have are not recognized or mounted. They do not appear with an icon in "My Computer"... No name or size...
I bought a 16 GB USB drive that mounts... but my new 240 GB SSD with optional an USB connector is blank and so is an old 32 GB micro sd card that connects via an adapter.
If I install the SSD to the computer, can I install a Linus OS on it anyway? Such as Mint?
Or do I need to perform another function to use them?
Gparted only found the Base SSD not the 16 GB or the 32 Gb micro sd card. Disk formatter only found a 1 GB device, but don't have one such plugged in. This is in Mint 19 64 bit Mate, on a desktop.
