Type:

Code Sample
dmesg | grep scsi -A 3


in a terminal window to find your stick's device name.

It might be "sda" or "sdb" or some other name.

Also my bios is set to boot from USB

I had a thumbdrive app suite installed on the USB drive and when I would leave it in the computer and reboot is would try to boot from the stick. This is in Winxp

This tells me that your CD/DVD drive was detected at devicename sr0

But there is no mention of your USB drive.

For example, when I have my Sandisk 1GB Cruzer Mini, I see this info:

Code Sample
scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
 Vendor: SanDisk   Model: Cruzer Mini       Rev: 0.1
 Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdb: 2001888 512-byte hdwr sectors (1025 MB)
sdb: Write Protect is off
sdb: sdb1


Maybe your USB controller is not working correctly.

If you type:

lsmod

you should see a uhci, ohci or ehci driver module present, and with your drive plugged in you should see usb-storage present.

You can also see this on the Modules tab of the System Stats program.
