[SOLVED] USB drives not show up in file manager.

Hi. I have a 32GB USB drive I want to use on my laptop. I have tried 2 different USB drives and both of them are not recognized. However, they are both recognized in GParted. How can I get these to be recognized? I use Thunar file manager with XFCE. Thanks.

Can you mount them manually?

Sorry for the long delay. I installed gvfs and gvfs-afc and now my USB drive mounts properly. Thanks so much for all your help! I also configured the options in Thunar to automatically mount and show contents of USB drive when inserted.
