Second Hard Drive issue

[José Queiroz]

Hello Billie,

I know that you seem to have already solved your issue. But as there was a
lot of answers (and not all of them was focused on your problem), I could't
see if you tried do place a label on your problematic disk.

>From my experience, every additional file system mounted by (K)ubuntu is
placed on /media/<UserName>/<FSName>, where UserName is exactly what it
means, and FSName is a choice of the File System Label, UUID, Device Name,
or simply "DiskX", where X is a numerical sequence starting on "1".

You can use "e2fslabel", "ntfslabel", etc. to label your file system. You
can also use "gparted" to do it, but as it is a partitioning tool, you must
have extreme caution using it.

Hope that this can help you.
