JM. Candelay - glad the majority of your problems are solved. Unfortunately, your first sentence, "installing Ntfs configuration tool, and starting system first then switching on external drive second solved this one for me ..." is exactly the problem that is reported.
Like you, if I start the system first, then either plug in, or turn on, the external USB drive, then the drive automounts and works correctly. The issue is that in previous versions (8.04 - 8.10), the drive was recognised when the system was booted without having to either plug it in or turn it on. I want that behaviour back. I am getting the same error as reported here: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-generic/modules.dep No such file or directory and don't know if that has something to do with the problem.
