Any help would be appreciated.
Right after the installer boots and the GUI first displays, before clicking on anything, try doing Ctrl-Alt-F2 (which should give you a command prompt) and type "modprobe usb-storage." If the driver is available, it should load and then linux should have access to the usb drive. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to the GUI. Please post what happens when you do that.
