RE: NTFS filesystems

Are you sure your USB drive is NTFS? I thought those were USBFS...

Also, is it a U3 USB device? If so, look for other /dev/sd* devices defined when the device is plugged in. I found that, for my U3 device, two file systems were mounted, even when I'm not using encryption.

The 2nd mounted file system contained the data I was looking for.

Cheers,
Arpotu.
