Is the partition you're trying to mount listed in /etc/fstab? Mine looks like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/C vfat noauto,owner,users 0 0 The "users" in the above line allows me to mount it when I'm not logged in as root. When I log into GNOME, I just open up "computer," right-click on C and click "mount volume". Alternatively you can go to the GNOME menu under System Tools -> Disk Management and mount it there. It's gotta be in /etc/fstab first, though. Hope this helps. (I'm not that smart, I just learned this from reading the list)
