Q

the usb stick needs to be plugged in on boot up. or it won't mount


A

maybe there's a conflict of devices in fstab or usb is not working - fastest way - try to change to another usb

[else]

:| lspci | grep USB | - is usb listed in system? maybe a matter of not recognized controller

[else]

open terminal ; with root probably do | blkid | see if it is listed

[if it is listed ]

: you can do | mount /dev/sdX /mnt/flash_drive | - or in /media/some_directory don't forget to create directory 

[else]

: |tail /etc/fstab | - see how it is described in fstab and if there is an entry of it

if it is listed as /dev/sdX - you can do again | blkid | and remember your device UUID

or

if you know exactly that this is the /dev/sdb# do | blkid /dev/sdb# >> /etc/fstab | - this will copy the string containing UUID of device in /etc/fstab

[then]

: | nano /etc/fstab | change your device string "/dev/sdb#" to "UUID="some_number"" 

if you did the blkid >> /etc/fstab -> delete that last string where this UUID was listed
