I assume it is because that particular drive dosn't have a linux driver? I have 
ONE usb stick that i can't access... all my other hard drives and sticks work 
fine.

I think the question you mean is where does one get extra drivers from. Which 
i'd like to know too as this usb stick is a pen type with a overhead projector 
light on it and one or two other useful things which i'd like to use again!
