Hi,
I am just a newbie here, and after I performed the above steps, and rebooted after the final step, I was not able to find my drive in question from within the Finder after plugging it in.
This is for the benefit of fellow newbies, but to see the drive(s), type the following command in the terminal and you should be able to see the drive(s) in the folder which opens up:
open /Volumes
Hope this helps.
It would be great if someone can shed some light on as to why the drives stop showing up on the Desktop and the Finder sidebar after performing these steps? Also, what can be done to achieve this?
P.S. I am using El Capitan 10.11.1.
