If no icon appears, fire up MCC/Mount Points/Partitions and it should appear there, give it a mount point and mount it. Done. Note, using this second method, you loose the mount point every time you unplug, so you need to repeat it all over again next time :-( John. - Forget that new hard drive, save some lives instead, donate to the Red Cross: USA: https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp UK: https://www.donate.bt.com/bt_form_dec.htm Oz: https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineTsunamiDonations.asp NZ: https://www.banqonit.com/proxypage.aspx?boiid=205 Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

I've had occasions where I've unplugged and replugged and it refuses to mount as it can't find the device. I've rebooted with the drive plugged in and had it unable to find it to mount. I've even had it disappear in the middle of being used without even unplugging it! Whether it's a config thing, or a kernel bug or a Mdk thing, I haven't had time to look.

I've seen a lot about this changing ID - and experienced it. I'm fairly certain that I read that it's a kernel bug, sorted in the latest versions, but I can't remember which version number. If it's the 2.6.8 kernels I think there are other issues cropping up. I'll live with the situation for the moment, until I know more about what's happening.
