The A404 is my archos player that hasnt been plugged in for days, and
the other was a cd I took out before I rebooted.


well the SEA_DISC is the one that I have the video folder on, and right
now I have no media attached to the computer.  anyone have a clue why
all these are showing up??  (except for the obvious floppy, cdrom, etc.)

nothing is mounted, and I just rebooted the computer.
