Hi !
Had the same problem today with my jb20rec(60GB HDD upgrade).
This seems to have to do with some drive recognition when hot un-plugging
and plugging
back again, because sometimes the Volume Label won`t show up in explorer and
when copying files, explorer explains about "long filenames not supported"
A reboot fixed the problem for me. :( ( ok, i will smile a little bit :| )

Don`t know if this is an OS or an driver issue. (maybe something related to
ISD300
USB Chipset initialisation??)
Hey - maybe this IS related to rockbox - didn`t find any hints elsewhere on
the net - this
really is worth being mentioned on this list.
regards
Roland
