well i spent the better part of the morning gathering the files and neatly placing them where they are supposed to go.
Checked and triple checked everything.
No joy.
So i tried the files from both 6.1 and even 6.0 as well, no luck there either.
I don't get it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the media. I am able to manually mount the partition and write to it perfectly as well as verify the contents.
Everything comes back 5/5 , it simple just isn't picked up somewhere and sent to the appropriate place to be shown in media:/
I think the kde module for this is kio_media manager or something to that affect.
Let me just run by everyone one last time what fdisk says.
root@porteus:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes

/dev/sdc6 732564063 1465127999 366281968+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
So as you can see (or how i understand it anyways) , there are 2 primary partitions. And under one of those are 2 logical partitions.
So 3 partitions in total. 2 of these (sdc1 and sdc6) *are* picked up and mounted by kio/hal however sdc5 isn't.
This is the first ntfs partition under the second primary.
I think I do remember at one time or another the partition being displayed in media, i may be wrong.
I should note, ive had similar issues with the flash drive and xfs file systems in the past. But nothing like this.

Should probably also note that with the new files the 2 other partitions do automount at boot.
Also found the following post where people where having the same issues with kio mm, however those files that are referred to in the post dont show up in the porteus file system. (Unless by some chance they are deleted at boot)

One final and probably the most important thing.
You know what bothers me isn't even the problem so much with kioMM , but more the way that it is handling the practical application.
Which has got me absolutely upset.
Why do we even need to automount partitions at boot in order for hal to start picking them up? This is what worries me the most.
Especially these days with USB crapware running ramped. It maybe a paranoid agenda but its still a elusive one.
I dont think there is a smiley for this one.
