Failed to mount 500 GB File System

Hi,

    You should use /etc/fstab to mount the drive. Just check the fstab configuration(as root user type: $ cd /etc/fstab ), there can be an invalid entry created by the installer for cdrom instead of the 500 GB drive.

If you see this bellow line, just comment it:

 /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Now connect the drive again, and it will automatically load in /etc/fstab.
