Hi, Zack,
I had something similar with my Icon a while back. I was able to fix it
by remounting my
hard drive from the console. I believe the process went something like:
umount /media/hdd
mount /media/hdd -o rw
I may have needed to put the /dev location in before "/media/hdd", but
I can't recall for
sure. After you do this, if disc drive mode works, you might need to do a
checkdisk command if
you're using Windows, or on the Icon itself use fsck, though I don't completely
recall the exact fsck syntax for this.
HTH,
Terrence
