USB Pen Drive?

Hi there,

Boot your machine without the USB Pen inserted.  Once the system is up, 
insert the USB pen.  Open a terminal window and type 'dmesg'.

This should show (at the end, hopefully) the device being detected, and 
all the possible partitions on the device.  If you don't see anything 
helpfull, give it a couple of seconds and try again.

As an example, I have a *very* old DiskOnKey - my dmesg shows sda0 to 
sda4.  I can mount /dev/sda4 and all is fine and dandy.

hope this is helpfull
