hi i have both ntfs and ext3/4 drives that i plug in via usb. in any case the ntfs packages you list are installed.
i am not familiar with disk-manager and will try that now. i was expecting that if gnome 3.x is attempting to integrate/simplify/control numerous pieces that it would 'just work' without the need of installing additional packages as a work around. anyway, thanks very much for your suggestion.
