I had this happen late in 2007 on Ubuntu. Actually, it wouldn't mount unless I was using sudo. I had to edit my fstab to point to my user's UID (rw,sync,uid=XYZ), it didn't seem to work with the "users" option. If you want to try this, you can get your UID by looking in /etc/passwd (doesn't show your password, but shows the user name, UID, and groups of every user). Then insert the drive, add "uid=XYZ" (replacing XYZ with your UID) to it's fstab entry, then see if the KDE dialog will mount it. -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager
