themrrobert: thanks a lot for your tip. Closely following it, we got

[root@bare ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb1

Disk /dev/sdb1: 2003 MB, 2003828224 bytes
62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1018 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6dec580f

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[root@bare ~]#

Nothing shows up for USB. How to proceed it?? Do I need to create sth first?
