It doesn't seem like the flashdrive is mounted yet. Run the mount command with no switches. That should list if it is already mounted and where. Otherwise, manually mount it, as root enter: mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb If it brings you back to a terminal prompt without errors then do an ls on /media/usb and you will probably see the data on your flash drive. Sda appears to be your hard drive. If sdb1 does not work, also try sdc1. Chances are it is one of those.

To know what partition to mount, try typing "fdisk -l" to display the list of partitions available in your system. If the partition list looks strange like 5 entries for sda, just mount sda: Eg. mount /dev/sda /media/usb -- Chivas Sicam
