Run the following few command :

ps ax | grep gnome-volume

If it is not running, you can start it with:

sudo gnome-volume-manager &

To configure gnome-volume-properties or use System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media, perhaps there is a clue there.

Finally for additional "debugging" You can get a terminal window up and type:

sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

Leave this running then insert a cd and eject it after about 30 seconds.

Open a terminal and type umount / the / path / to / your / HDD

I type what you told me in my terminal but it tells me "permission not granted" so I trying to "root" and but he said the same thing.

Insert the CD of windows xp pro, once traveled to partition deletes all partitions and creates a new one if you just want to have a hard c or more the number of partitions desired.
