hmmmmm... I just noticed. When I plug the drive in an icon appears in caja
representing the drive if it is in the 'computer' mode. When I open the
icon an info window appears stating that the computer can't mount the file.
Is the drive dead or just in a coma awaiting someone to awaken it with a
kiss?
