I have done a bit more digging. I have zero experience with Linux so I rely very much on instructions from others! I have found the following on the DeskPi Pro Github site:
Why is it normal when I start the Raspberry Pi with a TF card, but the SATA SSD hard disk cannot appear on the desktop? The disk cannot be displayed on the desktop may be caused by the following reasons: Hardware connection - The hardware is not connected properly, such as forgetting to install the USB adapter. Not Initialized Before - The SATA SSD hard disk is a RAW Disk, the brand new one has not been partitioned, formatted, or mounted. Unavailable file system format - file sytem format not recognized by the Linux system is used, for example: NTFS I wonder whether the latter point is causing the issue - I formatted the disc as NTFS - on the basis that the external USB drive I attached was also NTFS. I am not sure though as I have previously installed additional file systems from pCP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shozzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116915 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
