I can't find where my usb pendrive is >< normally it's thrown under sda sda1, but i can't seem to find it.

I'm such a newb ><

How can i find out where it is, or if its not found.. force it to be found?

Edit: Using the USB viewer i see its connected , it says the info is stored here :
file:///proc/bus/usb/devices

Edit 2: I'm assuming i need to somehow take my USB pend drive and make it work under "dev/sda1 or whatever" then once its found under that i need to "mount" it, then i should be good to go .. i think..

I hate not knowing stuff .

I appreciate the reply, but i have also tried that and for whatever reason nothing happens. I've tried it in all the terminals. : /

Interestingly enough.. 2 restarts later and its recognized.. and its all set up now to boot.
