Thanks a lot everyone, after you said it had to be formatted i realised that i had created a journalising fs on it, i got it working now.
One piece of friendly advice. Stick to FAT32.
P.S.: No flames please.
I agree. FAT32 will get the usb drive automatically mounted on any machine, windows or linux, subject to the OS having auto mounting features. NTFS too should work, my client recently got a Hitachi portable 40 GB usb HDD for 3K9 and the shop guy formatted it with ntfs. It can be detected automatically by XP as well as Ubuntu 5.10.
