Yes.  It mounts automatically  when the drive is inserted.
And proof that it is properly mounted is shown by the fact
that I can copy files to it and from it.

Also, fdisk -l finds and shows the device:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          32     7821311     3910640    b  W95 FAT32

However, when I try to run 'unetbootin' it states: "No USB drive is found."

I have tried umount and reformatting it, both of which work fine.
So how can I get 'unetbootin' to find it?

After inserting a USB flash drive, as root, 'df' shows this:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              12G  2.6G  8.7G  24% /

/dev/sdb1             3.8G  4.0K  3.8G   1% /media/disk

And fdisk -l shows this:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63    25189919    12594928+  83  Linux

But when I try to run 'unetbootin' no USB drive is found.



From http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-linux-with-ease-using-unetbootin/ : At the bottom, choose your drive from the drop down (if it doesn’t show up in the list, make sure the type is set to flash drive, that your flash drive is plugged in, and that other programs like a file manager can open it””if it still doesn’t show, try closing and re-opening UNetbootin).

If you still have a problem, please provide details regarding distro, versions (distro and unetbootin), how you installed unetbootin, etc.
