All,

I was playing around with my USB pendrive, and tried to mount  it on my machine, 
and typo'ed the /dev entry, so mount was frozen.  So I rebooted the machine. 
When the machine returned, during the boot up, the drive activity light went 
into rapid blinking for 30 seconds or more, then went out.  The drive appears to 
not respond fully on this maching any more.

Anyone know if I did a Bad Thing(tm) in leaving it attached when rebooting?  Am 
I SOL and killed the drive?  Or is it just something with the locam box USB 
drivers that I bollixed up?  Inquiring minds want to know!

TIA,

--
