        for some reason usbmount doesn't like it - did it mount ok manually ?

        what is the output of sudo parted /dev/sda print ?

            It is not NTFS. It is exfat formatted

            try this

            sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
            

            and try the mount commands again.

            or use FAT32/NTFS

              @BuZz That worked! I can mount it now, but how do I get it to see the roms on it?

                  @BuZz Thank you! That fixed the rest of it. I had to change the filesystem to exfat-fuse instead of vfat but otherwise it worked perfectly. :)
