I let this one hang out in my inbox for a while. I haven't looked into the issue again until now. Looks like Adam Richter's suggestion right off was right. It appears that the reader is only showing the first partition to me. I don't know why I had trouble before mounting it, but now I am able to mount just /dev/sdb without the partition reference. Maybe I've changed something in the last three months.
Thanks for the help! Michael On Sun, 2 Jan 2005 14:33:12 -0500 (EST), Alan Stern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, 1 Jan 2005, Michael Rolig wrote: > > > happy reading!
