Hm. Microsoft was very clever and invented different partition types for
FAT. Our autodetection routines may fail sometimes. I think we could
make a workaround relying on the autodetection of the filesystem. Has
anyone a better idea? I think this should work:

       problemBox(_("The partition was not mounted successfully."),
 		 _("Mount Failed"));

Gruss/Regards,
