Re: Cannot access external hard drive
What version of GhostBSD are you using?
What does "sudo dmesg" output after plugging the drive in?

Re: 24.01.1 Installer Xorg Cannot Start on Alder Lake N100
just an update. i grabbed nomBSD, which has a gui front end/live media.
i was able to get a gui started. having issues getting things configured, but it looks like it works. Maybe within an update or two, things will work for us
