8.04 mounting second drive help

[Jim Rosser]

Well i guess the good news is that it recognized something was there under
sdb b/c if it didnt it would not show anything.  This may sound dumb but you
might try unplugging the device and the replugging it in.  Then start the
program and make sure you refresh it b/c sometimes it does take a few
minutes.  Other than this im not sure i can be much help Sorry.
