Thanks to everyone who responded to this -- I was able to see the partitioning using fdisk. Only problem is... the disk is a 40GB drive, and this older machine can only handle drives up to 32GB. While I can see the partitioning and access a good portion of the disk, I cannot get a large chunk of the data off it that I need. I guess that'll teach me to back up to a hard drive (instead of removable media)... -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
