Hi Waqas Toor!

Dapper usually auto mounts USB "flash" drives.  You plug the drive in
(system already loaded and up) and wait about 30 seconds and see the
drive appear on your desktop.

Apparently this is not happening with you?  If so, probably hardware related.

1. Google "myhardware ubuntu dapper" using the brand name and model of
your computer and especially your mother board - also the brand and
model of your usb flash drive.  This may provide a solution.

2. If not, post back here with the information you used for "myhardware" above.

Good Hunting!
