Hi folks.
've got a WinXP system that's got stuffed by a virus. I've put a new HDD in
and started a clean install and now I'm trying to use my (F17) Linux laptop
to copy the files off the old HDD and scan them. However, when I connect the
external USB caddy Linux fails to read the driver, as per the log entries
below.
Can anyone suggest how I can get access to the drive please. There is nothing
physically wrong with the drive and Windows did boot fine when it was in the
PC.

Hi Gary,
Did a quick google search and found this util:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/udisks2.html
Seems to have solved a similar problem for folks using gentoo.
HTH.
