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

This is the output of dmesg:

Doesn't mean much to me, unfortunately.
Hope that helped

try "Sudo mount /dev/sg2 /media/exampledirectory


note: replace exampledirectory with what ever directory you want to use.

hth
--cj





Result is "/dev/sg2 is not a block device"
