i am running Ubuntu 10.04 all updated installed to date (3/28/2012) and when i connect another sata HD i get this message

the disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

so i press S but i get this message

could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority

And when a press close i get this

there is a problem with the configuration server (/usr/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)

And when a press close i get message

Nautilus could not create the following required folders :/home/username/desktop,/home/username/.Nautilus before running Nautilus, please create these folders or set permissons such that Nautilus can reach them

And finally when a press Ok at the last message it disappears and i get a blank screen with a lot of colors on it and with nothing else so i shutdown (power button ) and disconnect the HD and boot without problems so how to fix this in simple commands because i am a total Linux noob

notes -In the original error my username was in place of username i wrote (did not want to confuse anybody ) -I tried searching for this problem but a got a lot of different answers and most of them were really complicated to me and not working -I got a data HD connected and working without problems also the HD i installed Ubuntu on is Sata (maybe it helps) -Apologize for me bad English its not my mother language
