Remove the USB thumb drive from the system, wait a few seconds (10 or so) and plug it back in. Have a look (as root) at the /var/log.messages file by typing from the console or xterm session;

tail /var/log/messages

You should (hopefully) see something like;

Code:

Use this information to mount the partition, for example; mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
