Simon Thornton solved this for me. The problem seems to occur because the manufacturers do not create correct partion tables on some flash drives. Microsoft operating systems seem to ignore faulty flash drive partition tables.
Simon's advice (which worked for me) was to delete the existing partitions and re-format the drive using fdisk.
Thanks a bunch Steve, this worked for me as well. It seems odd that KDE used to mount /dev/sda automagically upon inserting the flash drive, but now it must be done manually. Thanks again to everyone who offered help, Ken
