      Re: External Hard Disk

      I had that problem too (external and ntfs). But now works... What i did? First i noticed that ntfs-config wasn't installed, so i installed and marked the external option. Then, i remembered something from my slackware days, so i decided to add my user to the disk group. Rebooted, turned the disk on and voilá, the disk was automounted!


      Edit: Ok, it wasn't the disk group thing that solved the problem... I changed one thing before rebooting that did it. I opened konqueror and in the left panel, in services/storage devices (not sure it's like this, mine is in portuguese), right-click on the device, went to properties and them unchecked the "mount as user option".

        WOW! I lurked along...reading Rocky's issues and I was helped!
        (rocky's mention of using krusader was the ticket...worked a treat, and right away)

        Can you believe it? Neither can I! LOL

        My name says it all, but I'm quick & I know how to RTFM.

        Now that my external maxtor can be accessed I can (gladly!) say guh-bah! to windblows. AMF

        Microsoft has sold me their last turd with XP.

          I should also add that going into /system settings /advanced /disk & filesystems and changing my DRIVE TYPE from Automatic to NTFS sure helped a bunch! a-doy!!
          (especially since I had long ago formatted the external maxtor to NTFS!

          here I was thinking it was a hardware issue....just goes ta sho ya!
