Generally this will be recognize as /dev/sda1, assuming you don't have other 
SCSI drive. You can try as root do:

mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

then "ls /mnt/usb" to see if it's mounted correctly

"umount /mnt/usb " to unmount it.

 2) have a link on my desktop to mount and dismount it.

Create a script to do all the above. Setup a shortcut on your desktop 
(different way depending what destop you're using) to execute the mount and 
umount script on clicking.

I am not. I always have xterm windows open anyway it's easier for me to do it 
via command line since my desktop is usually burried under bunch of xterm 
windows.
