Do that code, but type sudo before.

or type

Code: [Select]

sudo -s to log in as root, hit enter, then type the code.
sudo -s is also handy for many other things, so you don't have to continually type your password.

error:

Code: [Select]

fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/F0A4341FA433E6AE: No such file or directory

does that mean the USB drive wont work?

Don't think so. You typed this command as root?
