I tried to mount it in the terminal but I got a 'mount: No medium found' error. I tried restarting but got same error. could it be something else other then sda1 and if so how would I figure it out.

Does anybody know how to install and mount a usb drive.
    

yes.  

oh.  you want me to tell you how? :)

well, I'm going to assume that you're not using Gnome or KDE, or that
someone else is going to tell you how to do it the easy way in
gnome/kde, because i don't know that easy way...

so, the way i do it is, i go into a terminal, and run:
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb 

now, before you go and type that into your shell, there are a few things
you should know.  
1) the $ at the beginning is not something you want to type.  it simply
means that you're doing this at a terminal prompt.  
2) the folder /mnt/usb needs to exist

good luck :)

(p.s. sorry to pick on you a bit at the beginning...  i just couldn't
resist)
