[solved] Gnome-2.16 hdd & hal

[mohamed_hagag]

any one here have a working gnome-2.16.x with HDD icons in myComputer while HAL running ??

i even tried mandriva,ubuntu and others and they have the same egg.

gnome-2.16 doesn't show HDD icons while HAL running and while HAL is stoped -or gnome-vfs built without HAL support- it reads and shows partitions defined in fstab file.

i really mean HDD drives/prtitions and NOT CD/DVD/USB or any other removable media because it really works more than nice with me.

i know this is an ancient issue since 2.16 or even 2.15 days but it makes me crazy now, any one here have a solution ?
