For example, I have tried to mount my flash drive (/dev/sdb) with types vfat, ntfs, and udf and mount replies that these are the wrong filesystems. I can read this flash drive in windows, so it's an fs that windows understands.

Have you tried mounting it with fs=auto? On most modern Linux distributions HALd (Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon) should be able to auto-detect and mount without any user intervention.

how about fdisk /dev/sdb the thing? Command "p" will output the whole table, "q" to leave.
did you do mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb or /dev/sdb? The prior is right; the /dev/sdb is wrong, it referred to the entire drive not the partition on it. Also just a note, my SD reader is /dev/sda on my machine, mounting is /dev/sda1
