FreeAgent USB HDD



Hi all

Yesterday, I bought a 500GB Seagate FreeAgent (external) USB hard drive. I plugged it in, downloaded the necessary ntfs-3g driver and all was fine. Today I plug it in and my Lenny system can't find it at all. There is nothing loaded on media and it seems that as far as my system is concerned, it has ceased to exist.

How can I load this manually and how can I prevent this from happening again? I am not even sure how to debug this, so any help on that score would be useful too. It has something like 100GB of data on it from yesterday which I am extremely loathe to lose.

Thanks for any assistance.

Andy
