Hello,
I have an External ntfs Hard drive from SimpleTech, a 4th generation Apple iPod, and a Wireless Microsoft Optical Mouse.
Out of these three, only the Wireless Mouse works (and that is occasional). All of these devices function perfectly on Windows and on Ubuntu.
By 'works', I mean 'recognized'. On my previous install of Arch, when I plugged my external hdd in, I got a helpful message about how I can mount it properly. Now, it doesn't display the message or mount at all.. I've tried mounting with /dev/sdb1 and many usbdev combinations but it wont mount...
I have installed libgpod-svn, gtkpod-svn, libipoddevice, and ntfs-3g. My mkinitcpio.conf has been untouched, and I used hwdetect to create a MODULES array in the rc.conf instead of using udev.
What software am I missing, or what can I do to get Arch to recognize my USB devices?
- Thanks!

maybe you need to add your username to proper groups: hal, dbus, storage
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

# gpasswd -a USERNAME optical
# gpasswd -a USERNAME storage
# gpasswd -a USERNAME dbus
# gpasswd -a USERNAME hal
# gpasswd -a USERNAME disk

I turned udev back on, and added myself to the hal group:
