Yes, I have an external USB hard drive. It is listed during the installation process, but does not seem to be registered after boot up. I have followed Brian's advice with fstab and mount, but I am not very well able to decipher the results. It's a lot to ask anyone to look through, but here is what comes out: [chuck@localhost chuck]$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda8 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda11 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/sda5 /mnt/win_c2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda7 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda5 /opt ext2 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda9 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda10 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda12 swap swap defaults 0 0 [chuck@localhost chuck]$ mount /dev/hda8 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hda11 on /home type ext2 (rw) /mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-1) /mnt/cdrom2 on /mnt/cdrom2 type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-1) /mnt/floppy on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/win_c type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850) /dev/hda6 on /mnt/win_d type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850) /dev/hda7 on /mnt/win_e type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850) /dev/hda5 on /opt type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda9 on /usr type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda10 on /var type ext2 (rw) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43) /dev/sda5 on /mnt/win_c2 type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850) Once again, thanks.
