well, it says "device scan complete" but just in another place that i
told you... I'm sorry about that.
In your case th device is atached as "/dev/sda" and the partition is
"/dev/sda1". To mount it try the command:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/stick
but get sure that /media/stick exists before you execute that command.
The device should be mounted then. Don't forget to do a
umuount /media/stick
and wait until this command is done before you unplug the device. Good Luck
