Well not anymore.  I screwed up and shutdown without ejecting it so now 
LVM shows it as 96MiB and can't do anything with it.  I have an old copy 
of dfsee (6.04) registered but I can't get it to do anything either.  It 
says the disk [D3] is not ready.

Any thoughts on how to make it usable again?

Thanks,  Jim
