External HD Not Detected
Hi!
I have formatted (primary/ntfs) an old HD 80G and connected it by a USB cable to my laptop w/c is multi booted. I want to use it for back-up.
The external HD is detected and mounted automatically in Debian Lenny, Mint 7, openSUSE, Mandriva and even xp. However, no detection was found in Fedora 10.
In connection with this. May I please ask for help on how to check and understand why my Fedora partition failed to detect and mount the external HD?
Thank you very much!nujinini

There was a bug in Fedora 10 listed here. I am not sure if that bug is cause of your problem. Updates had fixed that bug though.
Check comments posted under that bug report.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
