I recently received an 8GB usb stick that fails to mount on my fully
patched CentOS 6.5 desktop machine.

The stick works just fine on a windoze 7 laptop (my daughter's) with
no special drivers installed.
most USB sticks are formatted FAT32

file when applied /dev/sdf/(1) indicted a block device - nothing else
helpful.
Try as root:
dd if=/dev/sdf1 of=somefile count=100
file somefile
that gave me:

somefile: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x76

when I tried dd if=/dev/sdf of=somefile count=100 i get:

somefile: x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR, Serial 0xc3072e18; partition 1: ID=0x7, starthead 0, startsector 8064, 15626368 sectors, code offset 0xc0

still not much wiser I'm afraid. My understanding of the MBR is rough, certainly insufficient to debug this. the frustration is that windoze is quite happy to mount and read it just fine.
