[ubuntu-uk] USB Pen Drive Problem

Hi
I use a 32Gb USB pen drive for daily backups of my main PC (#1). Each time I plug it into PC #1 it takes only seconds to mount. However, if I plug it into my other PC (#2) it can take 10-15 minutes to mount. If I subsequently write data to the drive from PC #2 it will then also take 10-15 minutes to mount next time I plug it into PC #1.
I've formatted the drive as ext3, ext4 and fat32 - makes no difference.
Does anybody have any ideas what is going on and whether there is anything I can do to speed things up?
On both my PCs I'm running 11.10 with Xfce, formatted as ext4.
Thanks
