I got a USB pen drive and could not mount it. I noticed that the
partitions had error on them. I had to fdisk the disk, remove all
partitions (there were more then one), then create a new one. I emerged
dosfstools so that I could format my drive as vfat. Now it works on both
my gentoo box and a windows box!

P.S. I used /dev/sda1 just as the previous poster mentioned.
