A USB what? Flash memory stick, an external USB hard drive?

Does it happen with all USB connections or only with this particular device?

If it is flash memory stick, is it in Windows format (eg, fat32) and was 
it used prior on Windows and wasn't properly closed before it was 
disconnected from the Windows OS? If this latter is the case, put it 
back on the Windows OS and close it properly - and it will then be 
recognised by 10.04,

(In fact, last question :-) , is the flash stick - if it is a flash 
stick - formatted? An unformatted stick will not be recognised.)
