Hello,
After spending some time trying to diagnose what the root cause of the
problem is I have found the following information.

I have not read this type of information in the past but when I read through
that it seems to suggest that sdb1 is the right partition to mount. However
when I go into the new device notifier in KDE 4 on Intrepid it says the
following. error
"An Error occurred while accessing 'FREECOM HDD'. the system responded:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock on /dev/sdb1.
When I look at dmesg it says that it was trying to mount it as a cdrom
not as the vfat device that it is and is reported as using hal-device.
If I manually go to root I can mount the drive with no problems with -t
vfat /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint
