Use a Shell goto SU (root)
Use Kate or your favourite editor and do the following;

etc/fstab
Add Line
/dev/sda /mnt/stick auto noauto,users,rw,umask=000 0 0
Save

etc/mtab
Add Lines
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /mnt/stick vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000 0 0
Save

Create a Mount Point
mkdir /mnt/stick
chmod 777 /mnt/stick
mount -t /dev/sda mnt/stick
ls to list files

Unmount
umount /mnt/stick

Or use a viewer to see Device

You may have to create a shortcut on the Desktop, Right click on Desktop and Create a Short to a Hard Drive,
Select Device sda OK Then you may have to Right click and Mount the Stick.
Actions > Mount
Now Double Left Click on Stick Icon and the Files Should appear!!!!

When you have finished and before unplugging the Stick.
Right click on Stick Hard drive
Actions > Umount

If you use a shell the commands are;
mount /dev/sda mnt/stick
cd stick
ls to view files
cp to copy
umount /dev/sda mnt/stick

Use lsmod and dmesg to see if device found when plugged in
Look for usb-storage

ls -L /dev/usb
ls -s /dev/sda /mnt/usbhda

I use Kate as editor and all done in root (SU)
