Ok,i am on me laptop with debian on it (i need to update me profile... so please ignore what it says in me profile)... so... i have searched for this, i read the posts and did what they told the person to do... stuff like

try mounting /dev/sda or /dev/sg0

if you need any more info, just ask

First, you need an empty folder to mount the device in, so run

mkdir /mnt/usb

Then command should be

mount -t vfat /dev/sda0 /mnt/usb

Run

man mount

to check for more options on mounting the drive as read-write, giving users access, ect.[/code]
