 What's

   ls -ld /media/*

 The mount points under /media are normally automatically created and 
 destroyed, but if it still exists (for example after a crash or forced 
 power cycle) then it will will need to rename it (and the first rename 
 is to add _ to the end).

 If /media/2010_BLACK exists when there is no drive plugged in, run

   sudo rmdir /media/2010_BLACK

 to get rid of it.

 If you have received this, you can generally imply that it was meant for 
 you and therefore you can read it, unless it doesn't make sense in which 
 case if probably wasn't. Either way, if your unsure, delete this e-mail 
 and destroy anything it came in contact with, including, but not limited 
 to, items such has hard drives, processors and just about anything else 
 inside a computer. Once done, please let us know so it can be prevented 
 from happening again (although by this point you'll probably have to 
 call).

 The sender is not responsible for anything in this e-mail or for it's 
 delivery or (non) receipt. The Internet is a wonderful place where time 
 and space seam to get lost and distorted. If you received a reply before 
 you sent the e-mail, don't worry. It probably means we're in a different 
 time-zone to you. Adjust your computer's clock to compensate.

 We also exclude any liability for any damage (or similar) that results 
 from this e-mail. However, if you do end up making a few quid I am happy 
 to receive a share of the profits - Postal Orders happily accepted.

 Finally, any comments and/or opinions that happen to be expressed in 
 the mess of text above are those of my keyboard - I may sit and tell it 
 what to write but ultimately it must bear responsibility for it's 
 actions.

 Thank you for taking the time to read our e-mail and I hope you will 
 reply to it soon!
