Hi Rahul.
	Thanks for the info. I had a dig around and found the file mentioned above. 
Do I edit the line
<match key="block.storage-device:storage.removable"bool="false"
To "true"? I have an 80Gb external drive full up with backed up stuff that I 
need to get onto my new F7 box, before I upgrade my FC6 box
