Well as I was trying to recreate the Terminal page to copy, I decided to correct my flash drive name I think I put a space between two words and it didn't like that. I just entered it again, and it's all working as it should. Thanks for replying.
Can toy post the actual Terminal command you're using?
Also, in terminal execute this command & post results...
diskutil list

Good work my friend!
Yep, in Terminal spaces must be escaped witha backslash or in quotes,,,
