Hello All, I'm running Fedora 30, and have an external USB drive that has been used with a Windows laptop to save photos whilst travelling. I'd now like to move those files to my Fedora system, but Fedora doesn't see the drive. I have no trouble with USB sticks, connect them and they are immediately available, but when I connect the drive I hear a couple 'pings' from the system and that's all. I've spent some time trawling through the various stories on the subject, but all seem to relate to a permanent attachment, suggesting changes to the /etc/fstab to always mount the USB drive. I'm really looking for a 'casual' connection, as and when needed. I know that I've been able to do this in the distant past, i.e. plug in the drive and an icon appears and away I go, but that was a while ago and using earlier versions of Fedora. Any advice and help greatly appreciated. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
