Hi Mark, As you suggested, after rebooting my debian box I can read the flash drive and no data has been lost. And I can still write to it from my kubuntu laptop. Also I mounted it on my wife's xp laptop and renamed it to "dane16" so there is no longer a blank in the name.
I'm busy getting ready to return to Cochrane from Ont. so I'll have to set this project aside for a while. Thanks to everyone for your help.
