Can you still mount it with WinXP/Vista? What do they report as a fs (under admin tools/Computer Management/Disk manager)? You may want to try pmount /dev/sda and, or /dev/sda1. Also give ntfs-3g a try (especially if you need to write to this device). Finally, I have had two boxen with hald problems after recent updates (it would not start). Check that dbus and hald are actually running. HTH. -- Regards, Mick
