I always just mount manually to prevent this sort of confusion:
Code:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
This puts the first partition on the USB stick under /mnt
Check the block device being assigned by plugging the stick & running `dmesg|tail` in a terminal.
If you're using the Thunar file manager, it shows up in the side pane as a USB stick (if you have auto-mounting enabled) -- I think this is also true of most other file managers.
Not sure what you are looking at, or what system you are on. When you stick the USB device in it is usually automatically mounted at /media
If you are looking under 'filesystem' from a file manager you are sort of 'jumping the gun'.
Without knowing what desktop you are using, and there are many, go to a terminal and type mount, it will tell you what is mounted. The USB device will most likely be listed as /dev/sdb1 with a mount point (/media/the name the device). This is a long way around.
The GUI you are using will be more simple, eg, Places me , me being the name of your home folder and in there should be something like "New Folder", or even an 8 digit record, that is your USB.
