You can try to copy your FAT filesystem using dd to another device and see if this is a hardware / driver problem or FAT support problem. You can also try to access this FAT filesystem using yet another Linux instance --- some live CD for example. Is your FAT support compiled into the kernel or you use a kernel module? -- Eisenbits - proven software solutions: http://www.eisenbits.com/ OpenPGP: DFD9 0146 3794 9CF6 17EA D63F DBF5 8AA8 3B31 FE8A
