I have a 16GB Hama usb stick and I'm using it on Ubuntu 14.04. Until yesterday it worked fine, but my Linux crashed and I had to copy some files on it using the low graphics interface. Anyways the files where copied and I reinstalled the system, but now I don't see my drive. Any other drives work.
This is what I get with dmesg | grep -i usb
