..easy now, first find out a few things.
"fdisk -l " as root will tell you which filesystems you have
whenever you stick something into your box.
"mount -v /dev/a_filesystem_found_with_fdisk_-l_ /mnt" will
either confirm it worked, or be a little bit more verbose
about why it failed.
Pile on more "-v" if you want more, or chk "info mount".

.."man -k mount " will tell you what mount like things you have
installed, "apt-cache search mount " will search for more of
these mount like things, e.g. "apt-cache show mount " will give
you more details on each search find.

..I'm really a little too old fashion to advice on those new
fancy usb key etc automount things. Anyone?
