Hi Jason! Humm, in Fedora 13/14 you can work with any kind of USB performing
normal tasks,
try another port and plug your usb again to start copyng/reading files from
it.

Some programs like UnetBootin need to mount the usb trough the console:

1.- fdisk -lu

2.- mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt (Here you have to put the correct device
you want to mount acording to the fdisk list)

And that's all... Verify your USB is OK with Gparted.

Good Luck!
