Guest charles Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 :roll: Everything went fine with my 9.1 install, but for some reason my CD drive and floppy are automatically mounted while my windows2k drives /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda8 are visible only from the shell in my root directory. When I try to get KDE 3.1 to recognize them with the "Add new..." command from the right click on the background, it creates the icons but refuses to show the contents of the drives. I've done all the typical fstab tricks and everything works fine as root shell (not root gui). There's no documentation other than what I found that told me to right click on the background to get the "Add new..." menu and what to do from there. But when I tried that, it didn't work. Any suggestions? -Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks on that one, I can see the contents of the windows drives now in the konqueror window. This leaves only a slight cosmetic problem. There's now a mount icon on the desktop that has a very very long string containing all the details of where it's mounted, etc. And there doesn't seem to be a renaming option so I can call it something simple like "Windows C:". Any ideas on what I did wrong with that? Thanks again, Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
