Backup from 6.06 to 9.10

[Marc Di Pinto]

I have some backups from Ubuntu 6.06 that I want to put it back in Ubuntu 9.10.
How do I do that?
When I connect the flash drive, it lights up, but doesn't show up.

In the Disk Utility it shows:
Unrecognized
SMART is not avaible
/dev/sdb

and:
Unrecognized
