I have a Maxtor 250 Gb OneTouch4 Mini drive which will work under
Windows or Linux. Problem is the last time I tried to use it I got the
following error message:

Cannot Mount Volume
Unable to mount the volume "OneTouch4 Mini"
Details:
mount_point cannot contain the following characters:
newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /).

I looked in fstab and mtab but not sure what to look for and correct.
Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance
Jim



What does dmesg | tail tell you after you insert the hard drive? If the hard
drive is in perfect functioning order, it will give you an idea of the mount
point
