If you know what device it is you can just issue `sudo mount
/dev/<device> /mnt/<foldername>` in a terminal.

One way to find out the device name is to `sudo tail -vf
/var/log/messages` then plug the device in and you should see some
info come up. Part of it will tell you the device name probablt sda1
or similar.
