[ubuntu-za] lacie rugged, external hdd

Tue Dec 9 11:16:06 GMT 2008

it works fine on windows, i stuck it back in there and ejected it again, but
that did not solve it. i usually eject because i know how ubuntu reacts to
it otherwize.

the format is probably the issue here.
ill have to back it up later this week and take it to a simple fat32 or
something. ill let u know if i come right. thanks guys
