Assuming your using Ubuntu (from the icon in your post), does it show in the places menu? If I insert a pendrive, it shows on the desktop but also shows in the places menu as e.g. 8GB Filesystem. You can click it in the places menu and it will open.

If not, please post the output of dmsg |tail -n 16 as shown below

Code:

Please place the output between [code] and [/code] when you post the result here on the forum; it will place your result in a code block like mine above.

Try some few other live cd's and see if they work.
