USB drive troubles

I have recently installed Slackware on my home computer and everything is going great except for one problem. I have a 256MB USB drive which KDE won't recognize (I don't have the skills to check in the command line). I know the ports are working though because I have a usb mouse hooked up which works fine. Any ideas?

this thread helped me get mine working.

the simple, from me is to create a mount point named /mnt/flashdrive and then add this line to your /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1        /mnt/flashdrive  vfat       noauto,users,rw,umask=1000 0   0

Thanks for the help. Everything is just peachy now.
