$ sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -I /dev/sdb1
$ sudo mkdir /media/usb_1TB
$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137
The options following the "-o" give you ownership of the drive, and the masks allow for extra security for file system permissions. If you don't use those extra options you may not be able to read and write the drive with your regular username.

$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb_1TB
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/usb_1TB
