Try mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive

For Debian-based systems (incl. Linux Mint):
Quote:
sudo mkdir /media/flashdrive
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive
Or:
Quote:
sudo su
mkdir /media/flashdrive
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive

The "Thanks" button is now along with the rest of the buttons in the lower-right corner of each post (i.e. along with "Report" and "Quote").

(Speaking of which, that help page should probably be updated)
