    Hi and Welcome !

    You have to mount partition manually.
    Open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    fdisk -l
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    format?

    I "formatted" my usb drive and it erased everthing, there is no risk of that is there?

    Also i need to leave Windows un-affected and usable, will this do that?.

    fdisk -l will list all partition names only. We have to check partition details first. Just execute fdisk -l command and post output here. It wont affect any partition in any way.

    If you are unsure of the consequences of executing commands
    given in forums or chats try using man <cmd> in this case, that
    would be man fdisk

    This will give you lots of information and remember not all forums
    play as nice as this one...
