Hi
U can find the usb drive in /media/
if u dont find just enter superusermode by typing su in the terminal and give ur root passord there
then use the command
mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive
make sure that u create a directory named pendrive in /media
most probably the device name will be sda1 .....check the device name by typing the command
/sbin/fdisk -l
it displays all the drives
TO access ntfs search in google there are many pages which guide u to ,mount ntfs
try this first http://www.fedorafaq.org/
right now i am in am not at my desk ..i shall send u later abt ntfs

*Normally* if you plug in a usb drive it will be automatically mounted (but there are some reasons why it much fail). If you use gnome desktop you should be able to open the "Computer" icon and see the drive installed. Open the usb drive icon and see the contents.

If the drive doesn't appear, then there is a problem. Post the output of "fdisk -l" and "lsusb" and perhaps the last few lines from the "dmesg" related to USB.

DO NOT use a command like "mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive " until you know what /dev/sda1 is. The guy who suggested that is taking a foolish chances. The correct drive might be /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc or ... .

Don't start screwing around with the .fdi files (policy files) by hand. Use the program from the top menu "System->Preferences->"Removable Drives and Media". The usb is just anothe rremovable drive.
