O Ubuntu 10.04 não tem suporte contínuo. Eu recomendo que você instale 12.04lts ou melhor 14.04lts
1.- Inserção USB quando todo o sistema está carregado.
2.- Veja no log do kernel ou log do sistema se há novo hardware:

3.- Monte sua nova partição no meu caso / dev / sde1: mount -t vfat /dev/sde1
/mnt/
Se você não vir nenhum novo dispositivo USB inserido no seu registro, há um problema com o dispositivo USB, os drivers USB ou a porta USB do PC.
