No luck, Tony. Just tells me there is no such file. I wonder if I may have accidentally reformatted it when I was using qtparted earlier, losing my files in the process.

Thanks for the suggestion.

John.

have you tried fsck'ing it?

try inserting the drive, unmounting it (if it automounts) and then `fsck /dev/sdb1` or whatever the device/partition is, (which should show up in `dmesg` after inserting it)

depending upon the type of file system, your milage may vary

    I have a flash drive that will no longer open and shows only a

    this?
    Any help appreciated even if it is bad news.
