after much wailing and gnashing of teeth i've figured out
what the problem is. i wasn't doing anything wrong.
the command was fine.

the damn harddisk that i've been assigned to retrieve data
from is apparently fat32x. i can't mount the bastard period.
no freebsd. no linux. nothing.

windows 2000 can't even speak fat32x.

ridiculous.

any ideas on how to get this thing working?
(other than building up a windwos98 box)

thanks in advance.
