Thread: Commands for mounting a flash drive?

so decided start new thread, know commands mounting flash drive? need install boot-repair-disk.iso flash drive. if can install it, can select boot , run @ start try , fix grub. grub messed up, , if need be, i'll , create run commands syntax return giving grub info.

here in flash drive far:

bus 002 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 003 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 004 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
bus 005 device 001: id 1d6b:0001 linux foundation 1.1 root hub
