That sucks! :-( I found xmms. Haven't played around with it because I

I finally managed to edit the fstab file, and when I look into the
computer thingy, I see the hard drives/partitions, but it says I don't
have permission to view the things! :-O We're now working on 3.5!
ARGH!!! You know, getting online and being able to access the network
has always been the pain in the a$$, but those items were a piece of
cake! Didn't know I would have to sell my first born to access a
partition! :-O Oh, another thing, although the SATA drive is recognized,
and is shown in the device manager, I'm told it doesn't exist when I try
to mount it! <scratching head> Well, back to Madden 2004! (No relation I
don't think) :-)
