USB device not mounting in Ubuntu 14.04

Question

When I do

lsblk

This is what I see...

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0   500M  0 part 
├─sda2   8:2    0  99.5G  0 part /media/archisman/Windows
├─sda3   8:3    0 335.8G  0 part /media/archisman/DINDA
├─sda4   8:4    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0    30G  0 part /
sdb      8:16   1  14.7G  0 disk

That sdb is my USB device.

But then I cannot see the device in my file manager.

Somebody please help, I am new to Linux.

Maybe this can help --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/522515/sandisk-usb-not-detected-by-ubuntu-14-04-but-detected-by-windows-7 — Parto, Nov 03 '15 at 06:05

NTFS file system is not supported in Linux Try formatting your USB drive with a fat filesystem Then it will automatically get mounted
