I'm finding that mounting SD cards is problematic on the new
computer. I'm suspecting there might be a cable that didn't get
plugged in, but I haven't opened the case up to see.

f-spot sometimes mounts the camera, and my old usb card reader seems
to do a better job than the one built in to the computer.  Luckily,
the SD card I use in my camera is only 1G, not an SDHC, which the old
USB reader definitely wouldn't handle.

So far, none of this fiddling has damaged the disk, so you may have a
problem I don't.

What a natural history of religion would show is that the human
experience of the divine has deep roots in psychoactive plants and
fungi.  (Karl Marx may have gotten it backward when he called religion
the opiate of the people.)
