/dev/sda1 is not in the User Mount tool and yet my flash drive is plugged in.

For the manual mount command, nothing was necessary after

"mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash"

The other side of the coin has to do with whether or not this device is a 
multi-slot card reader.  If it has 3 slots, he might need to look at 
/dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, as I do with my 6-in-1 reader.
