I have an external HD 120GB, connected with usb to my laptop (sony vaio vgn-sz3xp). When I had Kubuntu 6.10 the drive was automounted correctly. Upgrading to 7.04 automount (for the HD) does not work correctly anymore. A usb toggle I have (2gb Transcend) automounts correctly. Steps taken to correct the error 1. Formated the external HD!! 2. In windows run chkdsk /f /r (no errors found)
3. Started linux and connect the external HD, I get the message "open in new window" , "do nothing" etc. 4. i choose "open in new window" , but nothing happens!!! 5. Doing fdisk -l and my external HD is there but not mounted... 6. I create a mount point in /etc/fstab 7. I Do a sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 I get: Mounting volume... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. NTFS volume version is 3.1. Setting required flags on partition... OK Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully. 8. I do a sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/dat -o force I get: WARNING: Dirty volume mount was forced by the 'force' mount option. A voila the HD is mounted. Same problem was encountered in my PC with a friends external HD. I also run Kubuntu 6.10 from live CD, and both my external HD and that of my friend was automount and their contents displayed correctly.
