How do I mount a 2nd IDE drive, hdd below, formated fat32?

I searched for help many times and tried to follow it. see copy and paste data below

eddie

data below

fdisk lists it as:
/dev/hdd1 * 1 9964 80035798+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

I added this line to fstab:
/dev/hdd1 /media/hdd1 vfat user,auto 0 0

created mount-point hdd1 in /media

debian-etch:/etc# # mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /media/hdd1
debian-etch:/etc#

entered this command line as root:

debian-etch:/etc# # mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /media/hdd1
debian-etch:/etc#

Distrubution: debian-testing-amd64-netinstall.iso downloaded 3-27-07
using the gnome desktops.

How do I mount a second IDE

So what is your problem? I don't see anything wrong with what you've done.

How do I mount a second IDE

Thanks for the response!

Using gnome, clicking the computer icon, these are the items displayed as icons.

computer:///Floppy%2520Drive.drive
computer:///CD-RW%252FDVD%25C2%25B1RW%2520Drive.drive
computer:///Compact%2520Flash%2520Drive.drive
computer:///Memory%2520Stick%2520Drive.drive
computer:///SD%252FMMC%2520Drive.drive
computer:///Smart%2520Media%2520Drive.drive
computer:///Filesystem.desktop
computer:///Network.desktop

The second ide drive is not listed. I did find it was mounted and I can get to it by drilling down through the filesystem > Media > hdd1 > my directories.

How can I get it to list with the drives above.

On other distros: mepis, ubuntu, kubuntu and kanonix its shows as an icon with the other drives. I did not get it monuted on the debian sarge distro.

In addition on the gnone system monitor > devices, all drive devices are listed including hdd1 but hdd1 does not display an icon before its name it the device column as the others do.

forgive my in-ability to ask the question in the right manner and thanks again!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Gnome (actually, I hate the icons on my desktop so I even set KDE to ignore new devices etc).

Maybe this article can help:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gnome-volume-manager

Most of it is for Gentoo, so skip to the part near the bottom that begins with "To configure some common apps"
