   It's because external drives are recognized using hotplug. If you have the   
   drive connected when you boot the computer and intend to leave it   
   connected, then just make an entry in fstab for that drive. Otherwise, pull   
   out the drive and connect it again once you're at your desktop.   
      
   Cheers.
