Unable to Access 4.0 GB Volume

I have a flash drive on which are some folders I need to add to the Home folder, however, I got this message when I attempted to open the flash drive:

"Unable to Access 4.0 GB Volume


Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/heraqeles/768C-F109: Command-line `mount -t "vfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/heraqeles/768C-F109"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so"

I did not have any problems when I used this same flash drive to install the folders I intend to install on Zorin OS. Is there someone who can make some sense out of this?

Hi, please take your time to read through this article:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount

Also, follow the advice given on the last line of that report - Open a terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal - if using Zorin 9, Menu | System Tools | Terminal in Zorin 10 or simply keyboard commands of 'Ctrl+ Alt+ T') and enter:

Code:
dmesg | tail


and see what shows up. ;) :D

Sorry for the delay - been ill - just found this:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/372445/ ... fat-drives

This could be what you are experiencing - did you update the kernel to a newer version after the last time you used the Flash disk in Zorin? ;)
