ashley194 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I've just come from Sabayon Linux, where my backup drive was recognised without problems. Now after installing Spring, all I get when I try to access my music, emails, favourites etc is: error - konqueror org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <- (action, result) So all my 100+ GB is unavailable to me at the moment, any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Greg2 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Is it a USB drive or what? What is the filesystem on the drive? What does dmesg show when you attach the drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Check your user id - chances are you just don't have access to the folder anymore because it was a different uid. You could just simply do: chown -R user:user /home/username for example to reset it. Of course, if it's a different path to the folder, then change /home/username to wherever the files are located.

Greg2 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Do you have two SATA HDD mounted internally? If so, how do you have them connected to your MB? I don't see any /dev/sda and I'm not sure why. :huh: Please post the output of fdisk -l When you installed your system, did you intend to install it to /dev/sdb?
