When you plug a usb flash drive in it normally shows the drive on the desktop. Double click on it and it will display the contents.

If you double click the usb drive in your picture it should also open it.

Try highlighting the usb drive, NOT your hard drive

Does the usb drive show on the desktop????????
 
Please don't quote previous posts, it is unnecessary.

Several ways to do this..

Let's try this, do you have an icon on your desktop called "computer"???

Or if you click on Menu do you have a listing named "Places" under all applications?

I cant seem to get this USB thing right. Can you give step by step instructions how to do this. Iam lost on how to do this. Iam sorry for being a pest. Thank,s Chuck
 
I do have a folder called ( places ) in ( All Applications ) in ( start menu ) it shows when opened
( documents, music, pictures, video, downloads ) in downloads theres nothing at all. I have Linux Mint 17.3 on this computer now.
I checked around on the net. The only thing i can find is how to put Linux on a USB if your on a Windows Computer, i already no how to do that from a Windows computer. Since iam on a Linux computer i dont no how to put other Linux Distro,s to only try out on my 16 gig USB. Thank,s Chuck
 
I already got Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 64 bit on my computer now but i would like to try Other Distros on a USB like Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1 probably other Linux Distros to on my USB i wont install something else. I will stick Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 its already installed. Thank,s Chuck
 
I found the problem by accident. My UEFI in bios boot order has to be disabled. Now it reads my USB fine. I didnt no UEFI has to be disabled. Still learning. Thank,s for all your help on this.
Its now solved. Thank,s Chuck
