If you are running these commands on the main drive from a live CD, how do you tell it which drive to run the command on?

I am running 10.04, and the USB ports on the front of my Dell Optiplex GX270 only support up to 1GB USB Flash drives. How do I update the USB ports so support higher capacity USB flash drives?
