When i say "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/point" /mnt/point should be a directory you created or try looking under /media directory. If there is not any folders call usb or no-name or something to that effect, you can create it with "mkdir /mnt/thumbdrive or mkdir /media/usbdrive" or whatever you would like to name them. Make sure you are root before you create the directories, and before you try to mount the drive. Then you can type mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/thumbdrive or mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usbdrive.
If all works correctly post back and we will show you how to unmount the drive before you pull it out of the usb slot.
