normally, I just click the unmounted partition/drive and it mounts... but that's on Gnome
all my automounting was already set up when I tried Xfce so I can't speak for that, but yeah for gnome it would mount on click unless it was restricted in someway

EDIT: oops, nautilus Gnome, sorry

Where do you click on it? I can't see it anywhere.

I'm running XFCE and I added a 80 GiB IDE HDD that was formatted with NTFS. I could see the NTFS drive no problem on my desktop.

I then used gparted to create a new partition table on sdb with one partition in ext3. After a reboot, I couldn't see sdb1 anywhere except as an empty folder in /dev. Running gparted indicated that sdb1 was mounted, but I can't see it in Thunar at all.

Suggestions?
