Read them. You might discover the device is sd2 instead of sd1. But until you take the time to see what device is actually attached, or not attached and why, all we can do is make conjecture.

This is the very reason I tend to run xconsole on my desktop:
when I plug in a USB printer or storage device, I can see what the /dev/ entry is and if the connection is reliable (I had a dodgy/damaged USB port which kept disconnecting/connecting).
