My 2.5" external hd is listed under /mnt/TW*.
However, when I try to mount it I get the error:
Unable to enter file:///mnt/TW_P88_DB. You do not have access rights to this location.

I tried 'chown don:root /mnt/TW*' but that didn't work.

How do I solve this?

Hi d1l2w3, if this is the case.

Are you sure it's not already mounted or am I misunderstanding or misreading something?
Good luck. ;-)

I don't know what you are doing but I'll give it a shot.
How are you trying to mount it? As root? Do you have access permissions?

If you want to mount it manually then plug the drive in and issue
To find where the drive is. Should be something like sd0 or sd1 etc.
Then mount it by file system somewhere under /home/<user> so that user has access to it. An example would be something like
This looks like a permissions problem. You trying to mount as root?

Fogive my stupidity.
I am able to mount the one usb 2.5"hd as root.
I was trying as usr.

The second usb 2.5"hd (100gb) gives the following.

[don@Linux ~]$ dmesg | tail

It never shows up under /mnt

Don't know what the devices problem is or if it's a driver prob, but found this.
