well, the drive may be ntfs but the files written were jpg written from a
linux machine.... hmmmm. I guess it should be able to read from windows
seeing as it us a JPG and not some exotic open source file:!) I guess it
just got corrupted. The question still remains, is there a way to recover
the files on the drive? I hope so, There were pictures on that drive. My
entire south carolina trip!

The directions that were given were to run:

     chkdsk /f

on the drive. Have two problems with those directions though: 1. that
requires admin privileges and I don't know how to do that. 2. when I stick
the drive in it gives me the insert drive tone and then the disconnect
drive tone and never assigns a drive letter to it. Then it repeats that
until I pull the drive. And if I've kept the drive in there long enough it
keeps doing that after I've pulled the drive. 3.
