By default when plugin an USB storage device Linux create a user entry for the first partition in /etc/fstab, this entry allow any non root user to mount the device. You can force mount when logged root with "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt" In order to know your usb storage SCSI disk equivalence use "fdisk -l" in order to know which parition use "fdisk -l -u /dev/sda" Now if like me you're lasy, just rebuilt a clean USB storage with only one partition as explain by Stefan, it will then work on both Linux and Windows without any hack.

The reason why the flash memory stick is recognised ad sda1 on one system and sdc1 on the other is that the first machine doesn't have an scsi disk and the second one does.
Hi I was aware of this. It seems that the problem was with the formating of the memory stick. When I checked it with fdisk -l /dev/sda I saw that it had 4 different partitions (it was formated under XP ). After I deleted all the partitions on the device and reformated as msdos partition (from linux) everything was fine.
