Hi Nathan,

Thank you for your suggestions,


I began my works using GParted to create the partitions; I made two
partitions:

 -  /dev/sdd1  (label=source_sync)      (size=390.62 MB) (type=primary) (fs
=ntfs

  - /dev/sdd2  (label=svn_rep_backup) (size=540.86 MB) (type=primary) (fs
=ntfs

but after ...

I looked for see the uuid :      ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

and nothing appeared

Also I tried with nautilus to detect  the HD and his partitions (inside)
but nothing was visible...

Way this ?

What can I do to continue ?

Regards


Angelo
