Have you tried pluging it into a Microsoft Windows XP box?
From recent experience following GLUG and CNUZ events, it seems that
when it gets a bit hard in Linux you're best to just use XP, it just
works. (if you don't believe me, do your own research on list)
What brand is the thing? So the rest of us can watch out and not
purchase it.
Have you tryed using a different distro?
BTW, what Distro are you using? I've never had this problem with
Windows 98SE, would you like to borrow a CD?

It's probably got weird characters in the file name. If you use rm from the bash
shell, and use a tab to complete the file name after typing the first few characters,
does this help? Or does it start with a '-'? that's always a tricky one... rm
./-<filename> helps there.
I thought there was a switch to rm that allowed you to specify the inode number
( as specified by ls -i ), but can't seem to find it.
Just my ( smaller than previously ) $0.02,
Steve
