Paul, this usually happens when the disk was not removed properly (not unmounted) from Windows. Check the system log, you will see that the USB filesystem is panicing. Plug the drive into another Windows machine, perform a write operation (delete or create a file), and then unmount it properly. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
