Is your system able to recognize usb? Connect it to system and invoke:

Code:
~$ dmesg | grep -i 'usb'
~$ df -h
Also which VM you're using?

Welcome to LQ!

Have you tried in the guest virtual machine under menu Devices? You have to activate there first and then you can mount inside the guest system if it doesn't auto mount, but i think Fedora will auto mount it once you have it setup.

Regards

I'd add more, before you share VM name & version. Sometimes some additional VM tools are required to get full functionality of all peripherals of host system. In case if you're using VMware, once have a look at this.

Have good luck!

(Just a tip: You can use Edit option to put all your posts in one place).

Anyway, in case of machine crash, what does dmesg saying? and what about system logs? Did you see anything unusual?

Code:
~$ dmesg
~$ cat /var/log/messages
Also can you check following cmds?
Code:
~$ fdisk -l
~$ df -h
