why 3.6 ??

with 5.3.1 you'll have he latest and a better chance of succes.

if I (5.3.1 PDI) plug in a stick (USB) the system detects it and asks me what to do (click Cancel).
by then there is a new icon on the desktop with the text Flash Disk (sdb)

right click on the icon, select mount and next open (or a left click) and the contents is there.
