I have exact the same problem since Ubuntu 10.04 x64 with WinXP and Win7. My guess is the problem is Ubuntu (in my case Kubuntu). There is an easy work around, just skip the drive check and go on using the files - no problems in my experience. mfg, Marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
