The drive had a label of "SEAGATE". I changed it, just to be

Setting /etc/mtools.conf and using mlabel as Tim and Matthew
suggested, worked fine.
Upon unplugging and replugging, however,I had the same results.
No desktop icon, no mount.
How are your "removable drives and media" preferences set?
That's its
title in Gnome, KDE will probably have something similar. I can't
remember whether you use one of them.
I am using Gnome:
Removable Drive and Media Preferences are set to allow the
following for
"Removable Storage"
Mount removable drives when hot-plugged
Mount removable media when inserted
Browse removable media when inserted
"Blank CD and DVD Disks"
{nothing selected]

Whatever is going on with this Seagate USB drive is NOT new with F7.
I hooked it up to an FC6 machine and had the same results, no
desktop icon, no mount.
The system knows about the device, however.

It still sounds like a udev/hal issue.
I've got
idVendor 0x0bc2 Seagate RSS LLC

Now I guess it means trying figure out how to automate the mount,
etc. Tips, starting points, howtos, anyone?

I would never again own a Seagate hard drive. A question is, did
Seagate make the hardware that gets the drive to be a USB type? I
have a 10GB old haed drive in a box from China that costs $19.00 and
with the latest Updates it works great on F7.
If you have all the Updates in your F7 the USB stuff is working
fine. Your hardware should be found and mounted and a panel should
appear that tells you what is on the device.
If your hardware doesn't work find a friend with Windows and see
if it works there. If it does bring it back. Something is still
broke in F7.
As I stated at the start of this thread, the drive can be mounted
manually. This is NOT a hardware issue. When mounted manually it
works fine in both FC6 and F7.
The problem is that it is not auto-detected and mounted like other
devices are in FC6 and F7
Yes it works in Windows....
If it's broke [sic] in F7, then it's broken in FC6 as well.... I
don't think this is a bug as much as it is a device that has not been
encountered yet, and whose configuration is not yet know by HAL.
I've not had the time to learn/research enough about HAL. Other fires
are getting in the way. If any one can give me a starting point or
an example to study, it would be appreciated.
If I decipher this then I'll submit an RFE.

Have just bought and install a new Seagate SATA II 160Gb HD with no
problems. I used fdisk to partition, format and create a ext3 file
system. I manually added a line in fstab just like the one below...
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sata160 ext3 defaults 0 0
My system is installed in an IDE Seagete 40Gb HD.
HTH,
Thank you, Carlos, but my issue is with a Seagate USB external drive and
I need to maintain it as VFAT for use with Windoze and Linux.
I appreciate your response, however.
