My directories (hard drives) do not show up right away when connected

[anonymous]

I read the part on bugs and fixes and read the part on directories. I'm a novice at the lingo so I'm not sure if I should use the command line fixes for that problem? What I found that sort of works is to copy a file into the movies directory (appleTV with ATVflash installed on it) and then recheck. The directory then shows up and I uninstall the file and then proceed to put the files in the directories I want them in. It's not perfect, but it does make my the directories (external hard drives) show up so that I can transfer files to them. Thank you for your efforts.
