Under the df -h it is: /media/STORE N GO.
But when I type in ls /media/STORE N GO it gives me no such file or directory.
I even tried it with dashes. Same thing.

OK, try accessing it thru filebrowser in Mint

use the up arrow to goto root /
and then you should see a folder named media
go into /media/STORE N GO

it says it's mounted right?

Try ls "/media/STORE N GO"
I need a rest, good luck to both of you.

Sorry tred. I didn't mean to wear you out. Imagine how I feel. I have been trying to get this done for 6 weeks now.

Ok so I did this ls "/media/STORE N GO" and I got:
autorun.inf casper file drivers lmmenu.exe mint4win.exe sysylinux casper casper-rw ldlinux.sys md5sum.txt preseed syslinux.cfg

oh, you know what...?

you made the casper-rw during a previous livecd session...yes?

if so, it probably made it, and when you couldn't find it and rebooted/shutdown
then it was gone cause you were playing off livecd when you made it?

Yes that is what I was saying. LOL. I need to know that when I get to step 3 on the link above, where in the world does the file go? This is what came out the command from step 3:

mke2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=2048 (log=0)
Fragment size=2048 (log=0)
41160 inodes, 164648 blocks
8223 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
Maximum filesystem blocks=67371008
21 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
1960 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (4096 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

What I need is step 4 but how do I know where to copy and paste from if I don't know where the file is? That is where I am stuck.

Make a new one now, while playing off cd
and then do
ls /media/disk
ls "/media/STORE N GO"

and I know it's either overwriting the old one on usb
or it's putting it on hd
or in /tmp in ram
so do
ls /

also

I tried typing in dd if=/dev/zero of=casper-rw bs=1M count=2048 and:

dd: writing `casper-rw': No space left on device
176+0 records in
175+0 records out
184090624 bytes (184 MB) copied, 19.197 s, 9.6 MB/s


Basically to re-create it again, I will have to start all over with the entire create usb boot up disc again. Which I can, but do I have to? lol

No, but being VERY CAREFUL
cd into the usb with
cd "/media/STORE N GO"

then do ls, as above^

if casper-rw is still there do
rm -r casper-rw

this will delete the casper-rw you made
be sure to do this as root
sudo su
then do
rm -r casper-rw

make sure you cd'd into the usb
that's why do
ls
after cd'ing into usb
cd means change-directory

EDIT
I believe it's creating the casper-rw on the usb
which is why there's not enough space on device?

Alright. This is what I did now:

1. sudo su
2. cd "/media/STORE N GO"
3. ls /
I don't see a casper file. This is what is in it:
bin cdrom etc initrd. img media opt rofs sbin sys usr vmlinuz
boot dev home lib mnt proc root srv tmp var
