USB-HDD not mounted

[nixda]

Hi
after I re-installed rune, the usb-disk, that worked flawless in the past, is no longer recognized.
The little pop-up window* appears ("usb connected / disconnected") but it´s not shown in library or sources. ( i.e. usb stick works).
I tried different cables, rune 03 and 04, connecting before and after booting rune etc.
Of course automount is on.
What can I do to get this HD working with rune again?
What is the recommended time to connect usb-devices (before rune/raspi is powered or when it´s already running)?

big thx

[Setup is 3,5hdd 1TB + RB Pi3 + FiioE17]

* in the "connect" pop-up, there are tiny play/pause icons - to what?

thanks for the replies,
the 3,5" is with power supply (of course) and worked on the RB in the past (and always on pc)
I tried a 2,5" (without psu) and that works, too - actually only when connected before booting rune.
But RB get pretty warm (?)

I´ll try volumino, moode and older rune these days, just to see if the 3,5" hd stays invisible....

@PeteB
the tiny icons appear if you hit the pop-up

I have these unmounting issues at start then i check it to a tachnician who resolve the issue and now they working perfect from last three months.

Mounting and Unmounting happens if your File System is corrupt. In that case, connect HDD to any windows machine. If it has a problem, It will popup file system error Also It will help us to correct the same.

Hello, I have met a similar situation, and my solutions are here, hope they can also help you:

1. Repair USB Root Hub:

Step1: Press Win+R and type devmgmt.msc and then open Device manager of your computer system.
Step2: Look for “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” and click on it to expand the list.
Step3: Now, search for “USB Root Hub” option and right click on it to select the properties.
Step4: After this, open “Power Management” option to uncheck the option “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” and press “OK”.

2. Re-install USB device driver

Step1: Go to Device Manager.
Step2: Search for the option “Universal Serial Bus Controllers”, right-click on “USB drivers”, and then click on “Update Driver Software”. Do this for all USB drivers by selecting them one by one.
Step3: Now, restart the computer system.

And I also met data loss on my hard drive, I used the Bitwar Data Recovery to recover my deleted files, if you also meet the issue, you can use this tool.
Really hope it can help you.

Hi lnixda,

Just on the off chance, Connect your hdd to a computer and make sure that the Drive letter is still assigned. if not, then Assign the drive letter. I'm on rune 4 and occasionally rune/rpi will lose the drive letter and the usb drive will not show up in the Library.
