Mount drive (read-only here, uncertain if writing to NTFS is as confident as on Linux) I would like to clean up some stuff on that drive but given your note I guess I guess I will do that from a linux system. When plugged into a win7 system the device doesn't show up as a labelled (i.e. bigletter:\) drive, so I can't easily delete things on the win7 system; not sure why that is. windows-backup seems to identify it ok and chooses it for backup. All pretty scary. It's as if once set up as a windows-backup device, it's forever a windows-backup device and can't be used for anything else, despite the fact that it has some "normal" directory hierarchies on it. Anyway, thanks. Gary
