External drive not showing in fcp x but showing in finder

I have a two gig usb external hard drive formatted for Mac OS Extended, and fcp x won't show it in the Event Library, even though it is seen in the finder. I've put Logic Pro projects in there, but all I see is my other external firewire drive, 1 gig, and the Mac HD on FCP. I have a quad core i7 with the 2.3 gHz ... 8 gig ram. Aaaargh ... help? Thanks for your time! Tim

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Unless you're using an older version of FCP, this is obsolete information.

No matter what version of FCP X you are using, this method works in both cases. Correct me if i'm wrong.

It's just not necessary any longer, unless I've misunderstood something, which is very possibly the case.
