New hard drives not showing

[The_Brickster]

Hi,

Just bought myself 2 1TB hard drives today and installed them nicely into my HTPC.

I decided to format them as NTFS as I plan on using a Windows dual boot, to use software like media companion etc...

So I burned the latest Ubuntu Live CD and formatted the drives. In order to see these drives within the Ubuntu Live environment, I have to mount them everytime I need to use them. I have now copied all my movies across, but they do not appear in XBMC when that is booted :sniffle:

Do I need to do something to make them automount on booting up?

Thanks as always!

Add source?

Add source?

Sorry, should have said that the 2 drives don't appear in the list of sources when I go to 'Add Source'

Only removable drives mounted by HAL will show up there. You need to add them to /etc/fstab so linux know they're there (not an xbmc problem, so don't ask here if you need help). Then when you can add them as source by typing the path to the mount point.

Thanks for that!

Just getting to grips with Linux, so grateful for the help (& patience!)
