No problem on Windows I copied file to the drive.
First, boot into windows (I hope U have Win2000 or XP)
Go into manage (Right click 'My Computer') -> manage -> disk management ->
check the of partitons numbers and their format
(primary are 1-2-3-4. extended are 5-6-7- - - - - -)
Now in linux try
# sfdisk -l << use this very very carefully, better read manpages beforehand >>
man says
List Partitions
The second type of invocation: sfdisk -l [options] device will list the
partitions on this device. If the device argument is omitted, the par-
titions on all hard disks are listed.
now try
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdxn /media/mydearexternalhdd
sdxn=select from output of sfdisk = sda1 most probably x=a/b/c/d , n=1/2/3/4/ partition U desire to mount
Windows wrote files on this hdd - so it cannot be ext3 (bcoz it never got mounted on linux)
Good Luck
