Hi there,
Boot your machine without the USB Pen inserted. Once the system is up, insert the USB pen. Open a terminal window and type 'dmesg'.
This should show (at the end, hopefully) the device being detected, and all the possible partitions on the device. If you don't see anything helpfull, give it a couple of seconds and try again.
As an example, I have a *very* old DiskOnKey - my dmesg shows sda0 to sda4. I can mount /dev/sda4 and all is fine and dandy.
hope this is helpfull

Hi Marc,
My problem is: I don't know which device to mount. That's why I included all those details. However, because the subject line is wrong and my details were *after* my signature, I resent the mail.
Do you know which device to mount?
Guus.
In reviewing those details, I am not sure that I saw anything to my eye that would indicate the particular /dev that is appropriate.
In my case, after reviewing several web sites where folks had posted their experience, I tried a couple of options that led me to the choices that I now have in my /etc/fstab.
It may be that you will need to play around a bit until you find a
setting that works for you, but I would at least start with /dev/sda1
and /dev/sdb1 and see what results you get. If neither of those work, I
would try to increment to /dev/sda2 and/or /dev/sdb2.
It shouldn't be, but it may be a matter of some trial and error, unless you can locate unequivocal information for your particular reader and perhaps even media type.
I hope that provides some additional guidance. Perhaps someone else will jump in with a more refined set of details.
Marc
