Good morning all.  Spent four days sailing as I needed to get away from 
computer and all else.  I am back trying to open my 2tb hard drive.  In 
case someone other than Jordon Bedwell replies I followed the directions 
in his last post and got the below response from the terminal. Can 
someone help here.  If someone else replies it would likely be a good 
idea to go back and read some of the posts on this thread.
                                                               Thanks  
         Doug
