On re-read John, I see that you have said "Lenny" (mea culpa). the output from mount that you posted shows a dos (fat32) filesystem on a removable USB device as mounted in /mnt and on your desktop (/home/ve3sjv/Desktop) - that'll be FUSE(?). Perhaps your drive is not formatted NTFS?? "$df -h | grep /sda" will tell you how large the drive is..... "#fdisk -l | grep /sd" will show you any other USB drives - mounted or not. "$lsusb" might also probe useful. Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
