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:

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