They are mostly recognized as scsi disks,
check /dev/sd*

"dmesg" might tell you where the device is. Try to mount it with "mount -t vfat /dev/sc* /mnt/usb" or something similar. If it does not work, please paste the error messages here.

Good luck

well, ive done that, but i can only access my usb flash memory once, and then it wont let me access it again, and i have to mount it to the next sc* (for instance, i mount it to sca1 1st and then i have to remount it to scb1 unless i restart my computer). i cant see why i would have to remount it every time i use it, so im sure there is a better way.

I would think that the device is damaged in some way, could this be correct? (i.e. dropped it on the floor, gotten water in it etc)
