I formatted a Kingston DT Mini 1 GB USB flash, and neither Debian nor Xandros will have anything to do with it.
For starters that doesn't sound like an SD card.... Also, I'd suggest that there is something else causing it not to mount or be seen.
I havn't examined the files in the separate boot partition, but they look suspiciously similar.
I just think the OP should exercise a bit of care like wot I didn't innit.
USB stick != SD card.
There were a bunch of USB sticks a few years ago that did check the filesystem on themselves, they were all crap and should never have been made. SD cards are a completely different game. -- Brett Parker

Hi
I have sorted the problem. I manually removed the lines referring to the SD card out of fstab and then rebooted. I then formatted it no problems.
It seems even though I removed the settings from Storage Device Manager which is a front end for fstab, it was not writing to it.
Now to see if formatting it to ext4 resolves my DropBox problems.
