Thanks Marco I fixed it with this >>>
from the "root" prompt ( the pound sign) # mkdir /media/NEW_FOLDER_NAME (whatever you want to call this folder) # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/NEW_FOLDER_NAME if you want to make it automount then you can add that drive to /etc/fstab so mine would be something like: /dev/sdb1 /media/NEW_FOLDER_NAME ntfs defaults 0 2 ----------------------------- All I needed to do was copy some files to the new debian install, So I just mounted it then copied my files then unmounted and pulled the drive back out of the computer.

Etch is debian 4, lenny is debian 5, but this isn't the point. I've added a sata hard drive dev/sdb1 it shows up in system media folder but when I click it I get permissions denied so tried to mount it and error no mounting points I in /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab so I looked in fstab they Are no settings for dev/sdb1 in it. I'm new to debian so I need to know how to set it up so all user can use this drive. Thanks And: God Bless You! You need add a line like this one in /etc/fstab: /dev/device /mount/point filesistem options dump pass For use normal user /dev/sdb1 /media/HDD ext3 defaults,user,rw 0 0 N.B. If you create the mount point whit a root user do you need change the owner of the folder, is better you create a folder whit a normal user you will like use that device.
