Hi Dave,

First question, what format is the drive?  FAT32 or NTFS?  I don't know 
the current position but Linux hasn't always ben so good t dealing with 
NTFS.  Having said that it should mount it, even if it mounts it as RO 
(read only) instead of RW (read/write).

What is the content of /etc/fstab?  Does that show the partition/disc 
you're looking for?  You're right to assume they should normally mount 
automatically if internal.

Kind regards,

Julian
