Bug Description
Here is the bug.
When I plug in a usb-stick (Sandisk Cruzer Mini) using a fat32 file-system, Konqueror pops up, ask me what to do and after choosing to browse the media, a new window opens.
However, when I plug in a hard-drive (Hitachi IDE 120 Go) installed in an external box (enermax) with USB 2.0 connection, the kde deamon pops up, ask me what to do, but after choosing to browse, nothing happen.
To enable the automount feature, I must edit the /etc/fstab file in this way :
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto uid=1000
Once the fstab saved, when I connect the USB port, everything goes well, if the ntfs disk is the first to be connected, because if I connect my USB-key first, it will take the /dev/sdb1, and an other line in fstab will be necessary to mount the other drive.

Good afternoon,
I am wondering what version of Kubuntu you are running that you are having this problem with? On my laptop with a USB 2.0 device I plug-in a drive formatted w/ NTFS I am prompted as to what to do with the drive and if I select Open in a New window the window opens.
Is this on a laptop or a desktop?
