I try mount_msdosfs (because i believe it is a dos file system as per some clue i got trying to mount it, but i can't remember where... and it just hangs until i turn off the device. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction? Is there something i'm missing or is there a tool I can use? Perhaps mounting it as a raw disk? Any help would be appreciated. --Carl
