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.
Good!
I've got an 8 Gig Sandisk which I want to use - but was thinking that it might be overlarge for my purposes.
The idea is to populate it with Squeeze (and either a cut-down Win 2000 or XP Pro running in Virtual Box), Crunchbang, and maybe another distro, and somewhere, either on the HDD of the Eee or on the SD card, Grub.
Then again, 8 Gig USB sticks are fairly cheap now - less than half the price of a card of the same capacity.
The card, of course has the advantage that it can live in its own little slot on the Eee.
We shall sEee.
