I have avoided saying anything so far as I don't know about Gnome, only KDE 3.x.x. But in KDE this would almost certainly be because of how the Desktop is configured - show the relevant icon or not show it. (configure desktop -> Behaviour -> device icons) Debian and Mint may have different defaults from each other. We have already established that Debian does "see" the drive - it just doesn't put an icon on the desktop. Presumably Gnome too has the capability. You just need to find it. If you had already said something about this, I find your emails illegible and can only pisk out a few bits, so I may have missed it.
