Just bought a memory stick or whatever the latest name for it is. Says on the label, "compatible with Linux 2.4 or above". It's made in England - so must be true. Plugged it into laptop and guess which OS found it and which one didn't. Rhetorical question.

Have you tried a simple

su

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Most mount implementations will look at the disk and try to work out what sort of filesystem is on it, and .mnt is more or less guaranteed to exist on your system...
