Sometimes I have a similar problem. What do you mean by "opening a bash console on an external HD"? Do you right-click a folder and then "Git bash (here)"? I don't use that feature but I always start the bash with its regular icon (so my answer may probably not help you). It then starts in my $HOME and I change to the external HD (say X:) like so: $ cd /x/foo I noticed the following: When the ext. HD is attached/mounted *before* I start the bash, then it works. But if I have a running bash and then mount the drive, I cannot cd to it. "No such path" or sth. It seems, that bash builds a list of available drives only at startup. Might that be your problem? If so, then close all bashs and re-open them after mounting the devices.
