Thanks; already tried that, same results (2nd command given above) The stick has been plugged into an android phone since it was first tried on the fbsd and ubuntu systems, before I installed ntfs-3g. Mounting it on ubuntu, I see two suspect files, 'Install SanDisk Software.dmg' and 'Install SanDisk Software.exe', plus a pdf that says to run the appropriate file to get "valuable software..." I'm thinking / hoping neither of those got automagically run, since it's never been plugged into a microsoft or mac system. I've since renamed them away. However, something, I assume the android phone, automagically set up a bunch of directories, which are empty: Android, AudioBooks, DCIM, Pictures, Videos, etc. Doesn't seem like any of that should have affected the formatting, Although at some point after I can get it to mount I'd like to know how to prevent the auto directory setup from happening.
