See if Linux lists the usb with: Code:
sudo fdisk -l There you can also see its file system type. mount the usb on /mnt/usb using Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/usb Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb Quote:

Please indicate which distro and desktop environment you use.
If you use KDE, look at the "Device Notifier" applet. It should be in the system tray. If not, right click on the tray, and select "Panel Options -> Add Widgets". After plugging in the pendrive, it should scroll up a notification. Click on the pendrive, and select "Open with File Manager". You can also click on the plug symbol to the right to simply mount it without opening the file manager. If you have "ivman" installed, you can try in the terminal "halmount /dev/<device_name>" E.G. "halmount /dev/sdb1". Entering just "halmount" will list the devices detected. The device is then mounted in a directory created under /media/. Another option is to use the mount command in the terminal. |

prayag seems to have the right answer but I would add that many pendrives come with encryption of some sort and this can complicate matters. Try a 'clean' pendrive.
