Try doing as your username first; if you still have problems, then open up Konqueror as root: tdesu konqueror and try again. (Of course, all the usual precautions about running anything as root.) Messing up your mount options can make external HDDs a headache. If this doesn't work, then you probably want to examine these files: /etc/fstab /etc/mtab However, I try not to mess with these, if everything else has been running fine until now. If you try to disable automount for a new HDD, you may inadvertently change mounting options for other drives, which will be worse.
