Hi, When I switch the external drive on I get a screen "Medium type: Unmounted Removable Medium What do you want to do? The 2 options are open in new window or Do nothing. If I say open in new window I can see the drive but the permissions are read only. If I say do nothing then right click the icon on the desktop I only have the following options:- open copy open with Safely remove Open medium system folder Properties This is strange no permissions or mount options Paul -- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux
