Thank you for you reply … what i find out is that the USB HD is mounted in "File system windows C " and no icon on the desktop it doesn’t matter if if follow the step adding “ntfs” to filesystem

Format it to ext4, unless you use it in windows too. But I find ext4 trouble free.

try to add “nfs-3g” (no quotes) to filesystem. also make sure you have ntfs-3g package installed. reboot after you add it to filesystem (just on case…)

As an iterim measure, if the drive is always mounted to the same place, you could create your own desktop icon. Its not ideal, but its a solution.

Back in earlier openSUSE GNU/Linux versions, before auto mounting came to the level it is now, my wife’s 80GB drive would NEVER be automounted by openSUSE, and hence there would never be an icon on the desktop. So what I did was create for her openSUSE and her hard drive 3 icons and put them on the desktop. Icon #1 ran a script to automatically mount the drive. Icon #2 gave access to the drive like a file manager. Icon#3 would unmount the drive.

That was a ‘quick and dirty’ solution, but there are other ways to go about this.

I think the problem is with gnome because after i change to kde i dont have any proble with external drives
