first create a mountpoint: mkdir /mnt/usbstick (for example)
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb (usbstick) /mnt/usbstick

vfat is the filesystem

Perhaps the mount command given in the thread has to be done with root...................

and ...
I betcha it should be '/dev/sdb1'

And as an en-passant, if you are not quite sure about the fs-type, try '-t auto' or simply, just omit it alltogether
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick

If you want to know the fs-type, do a 'cat /etc/mtab' after it has been mounted
