Welcome to LQ!

First, please use thread titles which provide some information about your specific issue.

We need to know what distribution (version) of Linux you are using, and what exactly happens when you try to use the pen drive. Most modern Linux systems will mount such things automatically.

Welcome to LQ...

create a mount point

Code:

mkdir /mnt/pendrive

mount the pen drive

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive

Cheers !!!

Excuse me, but how do you know that OP's system will see the pen drive as sda1? In fact, it will almost certainly be something else.
