Suddenly, I have so called "Kingston DataTraveler" 512M at hand. It shows:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0ea0:2168 Ours Technology, Inc. Transcend JetFlash 
2.0 / Astone USB Drive

Next time, do not believe in logomarks. Kingston is just a trader.

What fdisk -l /dev/sda says when you plug it in? You should get something as:

Disk /dev/sda: 521 MB, 521142272 bytes
32 heads, 32 sectors/track, 994 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1024 * 512 = 524288 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         994      508911+   6  FAT16

If you see FAT12 on yours, then you have a problem and blame Windows for it, 
because it formated the disk "for you".
