How are connecting to the drive, is it a USB connection or some other
connection?

A few thoughts come to mind, one you could have a corrupt install of LO
or something important to communicate with your drive, another you have
a misconfigured connection on your pc, or for some strange reason you
are missing a package.

I would try a quick and dirty check in Synaptic (it may be called
Package Manager) click on the status button. If you see a listing for
broken packages open it and reinstall the packages. If you do not see a
listing for broken packages we will need to dig further.

I use a LO 3.3.2 on Pinguy/Ubuntu 11.04.
