Now I have a new problem which seems to have no answer. My wife (Thai) brought back a Buffalo HDD HD-PNTU3 with lots of music and small videos on it. The box and details on line say it can be used with windows or mac with some software called drive navigator. Can anyone out there tell me if it can be used or accessed by Linux (Ubunto 12.10 with Gnome desktop)??

Um... what happens when you try?

IME, most portable drives "just work" in linux and windows. Something in Gnome might automatically handle it and open a file manager window, and if not it should be mountable as a normal drive - watch syslog when you plug it in to find the mount point, or error message.
