I've gotten very frustrated trying to get my flash drive to mount in the hard disk install on an old Gateway 1150 Solo. I've tried plugging it in before i turn the computer on, when it is booting up and after it has booted. How can I get my flash drive mounted and once I do where will I find it in the file browser?

After plugging the flash drive in, you can try something like this:
Code Sample
$ dmesg | tail -15


This should give a clue as to where your flash drive has been assigned

it has to be mounted first, though, right?

No - start your machine, plug in the flash drive, open a terminal window and enter the command above. Maybe you can paste the output in this thread.

Sorry it has taken me awhile to post back...I've been really busy with school, etc. Anyway, here is the output from that command:
