Glad that helps. I would guess that the Automounter is having trouble with 2 drives on one IDE channel. It should be /dev/hdb1 (the DVD drive should be /dev/hda) You should remember, too, that if you have 2 devices working simultaneously on one IDE controller will result in significantly degraded performance (essentially, the controller can only use one device at a time). The automounter's really more set up for hot-swappable drives. Another solution might be to use IDE=>USB cases, but it sounds like you're sorted. Glad so. -g -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
