Yup, I do have two disks as you described it--one with the OS and one for media files. I installed Ubuntu using WUBI, so it's basically one area in the same partition with Windows. I don't know if that's a problem for Squeezecenter or not. I did a df and got this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk 13563852 3057076 9823184 24% / varrun 2021564 108 2021456 1% /var/run varlock 2021564 0 2021564 0% /var/lock udev 2021564 76 2021488 1% /dev devshm 2021564 12 2021552 1% /dev/shm lrm 2021564 43044 1978520 3% /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile gvfs-fuse-daemon 13563852 3057076 9823184 24% /home/geoff/.gvfs /dev/sdc1 488384000 161003304 327380696 33% /media/My Book /dev/scd0 4589120 759946 3829174 17% /media/cdrom0 /dev/sdb1 488384508 169319152 319065356 35% /media/Local Disk It's showing Local Disk, where I have my music files, as /dev/sdb1.
