Use a terminal; type su and your password to become root, then type: "tail -f /var/log/messages"
Plug your usb key, and watch the result. You'll see something like:
sdb: sdb1
sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb
So control+c in the terminal to kill tail. Create a folder in /mnt (if not already done) like this:
"mkdir /mnt/usbkey"
and type "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbkey"
Your disk will probably be recognized as sda, with sda1 it's first partition, so adapt what i wrote to your needs.
