Hi J65nko

Thank you for that, like I say, new to all things BSD/Linux, sadly... I'm a windows man (tho I work with VMware ESX which is a linux derivative) so really need to do more to understand ths OS :-)

If I understand your command line, I'm guessing the your mount command -o is specifiying an option... and ro is possibly a read-only option, I'm also guessing a "slice" is a partition... doing a ls -l of all thing da0 in /dev shows da0 & da0s1, which is where im thinking s1 means slice1.

# mount -t ufs -o ro /dev/da0s1 /mnt (or /mnt/colin in my case)
ERROR - mount: /dev/da0s1 : invalid argument

I notice on the other thread I mentioned in my first post, someone mentioned JMicron support (or possible lack of it in FreeBSD), and I can spot the word JMicron comes up when I connect the device... does this have any bearing on the error? ...

Is there anything else I could try?

Regards
Colin
