having problem with portable harddisk, my PCLinuxOS cannot detect my portable hard disk, where as in the main machine it all gets detect whether its NTFS OR FAT, but here my proble m is why cant my portable hard disk which is partition into NTFS & FAT be detected?
do i need extra repo to do that or do i use commands for that or do i need to edit some file setting in my PCLinuxOS, which is radically known as simple, but its not that simple

Search the package manager for ntfs, browse results, looking for readers & writers. (ntfs-3g)

Did that work?

Also, I'm not 100% on what you mean by detected? Could it be visible and just unmounted?

I am almost positive he means unmounted. Between .94a and 2007 they took off "automount on by default" for removable devices because of problems with a few devices.

Sweet. Hope he sees his answer.
