Comment 14 for bug 102097

Hello-

    I am the original poster of this bug. FYI, although the bug isn't
fixed, there is an easy workaround if you want to get your files on the
system. Just mount by hand like this "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sd<drive
letter>1 /media/<drive name>", where you replace the drive letter with a, b,
c, etc depending what drive letter the drive was given, and drive name with
a folder you have created in /media. It isn't a pretty way to do things,
but it works.

                        see you
                            -Jim
