I'm trying to find a frame grab I made of the file heirarchy now... I
posted it on here a few months back, when I came across the problem.
Like I say, the problem for me was the drivers for the PDW-U1 optical
drive. My guess is that the PC/Mac that's being used to mount the SxS
card doesn't have any drivers.
I'll keep looking to see if I can find this frame grab.
