Can't access 150GB backup drive

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.

Hi Greg2,

here's the output:

Thanks :unsure:

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.

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?
