Hi Hal,
Thanks for the reply.

This is where I am. I downloaded the Windows XP version, and it is running as I type. I expirimented on my old Compact Flash card and worked out how to save to other directories.

One has to use the left and right arrow keys to drill to the desired location. Pressing the left arrow key several times takes me to the listing of all drives.

Right now it is reporting it will take about 40 hours. I hope it is not stuck.

But I will try your take ownership method. I have had drives in here that only Knoppix and Slax could see. Ubuntu was blind in this respect.

I have fan blowing on the drive, and hopefully things will work out OK.

Cheers,
