Xbian can't find files on External HDD

[Fred]

If you want me to help, additional information is required. @BigGeoffrey: yes these are two different problems so it seems, but can be handled both in this thread.

@Carpenter, xraxor: Give me some additional information. What do you see in the folder /media if you browse there from XBMC, does it show the mountpoint but is it just empty? Can you try restarting XBMC and see if that helps:

Terminal

sudo stop xbmc
sudo start xbmc
