I recently upgraded from FC17 to FC18. The PC is a Foxconn R30-A1 (AMD processor).
I discovered yesterday that when I plug in an external USB drive that FC18 does not recognize it. I checked with 2 different USB drives and a thumb drive and got the same results.
The drive shows up in the left-hand list of devices in the Nautilus screen, but when you click on it, a message pops up that says "Unable to access [volume], An operation is already pending."
Interestingly, if the drive is plugged in and turned on when the PC is rebooted, the drive shows up just fine. But if you unmount it and then plug it in a minute later, you're back to the "unable to access" message.
Everything worked fine with FC17.
Suggestions?
