On my laptop if I plug a memory card into the built in card reader it does not show up anywhere in Ubuntu. The same for my external drive which I believe is FAT32.

Any solutions?

Anyone? I desperately need to get files off the external drive. I am not dual booting so have no other way.

The memory card shows up on the occassional reboot but not on most reboots.

OK, no help here then.

Don't worry, I've just reformatted and gone back to XP. EVERYTHING works again.
