[QUOTE="Ghostshadow, post: 940324, member: 9575"] I found a solution that seems to have worked for the most part. I went in to the terminal and enabled finder to show invisible / hidden files. I then deleted the folder options from the hard drive that Finder sets when you change viewing options. I then turned hidden files back on. I set the view settings that I wanted the hard drive folder to have and then ejected it. I mounted the drive afterward. Opened the folder and the settings kept. The only issue now is that the sidebar on the left hand side of the finder window is rather large, but it's not as big of a deal as before. [/QUOTE]
