Hi I am aware of the folder option etc but no disks show in the explorer window they just aren't there only the Home directory which as I understand it is the equivalent of the 'C' drive in windows. I have however opened the Linux mint file explorer as you suggested and right clicked the disk in the panel on the left of the screen, selected the 'Properties' option and copied the folder location from there. I then pasted that into Clementine and voila the library was created. It's interesting to note that the path I copied had no reference as to which disk/device it is on. I guess it's just an example of those minor differences between Linux and windows. It's almost like a GUI but with a little bit missing, I find it funny that the home directory is there but no other devices are listed graphically. Many thanks for your help Titus
