I have been experimenting some more, and seem to have one 500GB drive formatted ext3 which looks like it mounts, as I can see an entry in /media/.hal-mtab and a directory created /media/wd500gbA, which is the drives label name, but no icon appears on the Desktop. Memory sticks always mount with an icon, and looking at the properties of the memory stick I find the owner to be the user name who mounted it. The hard disk always shows root as the owner, could that be why it doesn't bring up an icon on the Desktop? If so, is that a bug?
