    Hi and Welcome !

    Which version of RedHat are you using?
    Plug-in USB and execute this
    Code:
    tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Are you running a GUI (KDE, Gnome, etc), or are you running in text mode from the command line?

    First we need to see the output of the command suggested by DC. Plug in your USB device and execute:
    Code:
    tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages

    Above command will give you relevant message regarding USB. Just note down device name assigned to USB and execute mount command to mount it.
    Post its output so that we can help you further.

    You can see the USB devices plugged in to your system with the command: lsusb
    Also, you will find that the USB drive is now registered in /dev as /dev/sd?1, where the ? is some letter higher than 'a'. /dev/sda is your system boot drive, and each numbered entry for /dev/sda is one of the partitions on the drive. The USB drive is usually the highest /dev/sd entry found, since it was the last one registered. In my case, my USB drive is in /dev/sdl1 since I have a whole bunch of stuff attached to my system (9 sata/esata drives, a card reader, a bunch of usb ports, and 1 usb drive).
