No :)  You mounted something completely different that had little or 
nothing to do with the key.  You need to mount the key with a line 
something like this

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt

Substitute vfat for the actual fs on the key (if it's a key from your 
Windows box it's probably vfat) and 90% of the time /dev/sda1 will be 
right.  It is possible for the key to end up on another /dev/sdX device 
like sdb, sdc, ect the easiest way to find out where the key got 
attached to is to plug in the key then run dmesg, it will spit out a 
bunch of text and near the end you should find reference to finding the 
key and attaching it to /dev/sd<something>.  You may also need to insert 
the usb_storage module if it isn't being done already.
