Following on from my previous thread regarding my HDD not entering sleep mode I am looking at something else here.

I have a USB hub and want to connect my HDD and pen drive to it so that the HDD will simply work to record my programs and the pen drive for the EPG.

Upon connecting everything up Mount Manager sees the two USB drives but will only mount 1, that being the HDD. My knowledge of Linux is quite basic but I am assuming that only 1 disk can be mounted at a time? If so is there a way to get my scenario to work?

No problem, using powered USB hub is better & should work fine.
USB mounts coud be messed up though, are you using a fresh flash with no settings back-ups?

What do you mean by fresh flash?

Fresh flash is similar to reloading the operating system on your PC / laptop. Load a new untouched, virgin image from www.openvix.co.uk and set up from scratch.
