Ryan, you should be accessing a partition, not a drive. You might not
be accessing the right location. For example, under Linux a hard drive
might be /dev/hda or /dev/sda, but partitions would be something like
/dev/sda1 or /dev/hda5. Are you able to confirm the drive's filesystem
is intact using something like a live cd?
