Comment 5 for bug 102097

I've downloaded both Kubuntu 7.04 & Ubuntu 7.04. I started my pc with Kubuntu live cd and after everything was loaded I turned off my external usb HD. Again I had the same problem (see above).
I followed the same procedure, only that time I had Ubuntu live cd to start with. Guess what... my external USB HD was discovered AND mounted correctly (could read but not mount due to live cd restrictions).
I will try to install ubuntu in my pc as well and see what happens. Maybe there is a module or something that is not loaded with kubuntu.
I'd like to see a solution to this problem, since having an external storage device is quite useful especially when you use it for backup reasons.
