Wierdness.
Oh well. However it was, I just had to delete/unmount anything with the name Lexar or External USB in the media folder and it is now
recognized! Thanks anyways @manuel.
Edit:
Never mind, now it has disappeared again. If I want to access the /media/Lexar folder I have to be root and the Windows partition still doesn't
show up.
HELP!

Ok, in a chat we haven't found a reason why PCManFM doesn't automount. So here we create an
fstab entry for the stick:
1. We need to create the folder for the stick and get the device id.
Open a terminal. The folder can be created via
s
udomkd
ir/me
dia
/my
sti
c
k
In addition I would make the user the owner and give him the right to read/write:
s

Enter sudoblkid and look for the stick. The output could be:

Then we create the fstab entry: sudogedit/etc/fstab and append the line

Because of the entry auto it should be mounted automatically if you remove and plug in the stick
again.

Personally, I recommend you use UUIDs in the future. easier/faster/more reliable Whaaaaaat Jan 23 at 5:29
