Been thinking about this, I had changed the boot order in the Bios to 
try to boot from a thumb drive. Didn't get it to work so I put the bios 
back to original.  The Hard 2 gig drive does not show up in computer 
folder at all. I have a couple other usb drives and they show up.  They 
open as empty. Not sure but I think there are files on them. The big 
drive must not be mounted. As it does not show up any place except in 
the bios.                             Doug
