Enable USB Storage (Pen Drive) in Ubuntu 12.X and Mint 13.X which is manually Disabled


Enable USB Storage (Pen Drive) Ubuntu 12.X and Mint 13.X  which is all ready manually Disabled using entries in Blacklist.conf, rc.local files and also moving usb-storage.ko. We had to reverse all these step to enable USB. To do use the following steps

In terminal:
1) sudo  mv /root/usb-storage.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/storage
This will move usb-storage.ko to Storage
2) sudo gedit /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Put # mark before balcklist usb_storage save and exit
3) sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Put # mark before modprobe -r usb_storage, save and exit
Reboot your computer and check usb storage is mounting or not
