Thread: How to get Ubuntu to recognize more than 1 external HDD


hey guys!

bought second external hard drive yesterday. did following steps:

1. connect old external hdd via usb
2. shows , mounts "exhdd1" in nautilus
3. shows sdc in gparted
4. connect new external hdd via usb in addition
5. doesn't show in nautilus or gparted

sucks. tried other way round:

1. connect new external hdd via usb
2. shows "unknown" in nautilus (not mounted, of course. it's unformatted)
3. shows sdc in gparted
4. connect old external hdd via usb in addition
5. doesn't show in nautilus or gparted

doing wrong? ideas? use both external hard drives. when connect usb key else connected @ same time, shows , mounts properly.

are doing on laptop or pc? hdd's externally powered or through usb port? may machine cannot provide enough power both hdd's working. there error messages in log files?
