Early on in this thread I noticed (but didn't comment) that you had the keyword "noauto" in your fstab. "what this does" is prevent the command "mount -a" [issued as part of your boot scripts] from "automatically" mounting the partition -- sometimes this is good, sometimes it is bad (for example, it might "automatically" mount it with a different UID, which can cause all sorts of odd things to occur...]

Right now I still do not have the desktop icon but I can live without it. But it is nice to have the data back in the ole 8.0.

I don't recall that 8.0 automagically puts icons on the desktop. You may have to copy one of the other drives and alter the configuration (probably the easiest way).

I don't have a system with 8.0 [and a gui...] installed either to be certain, but in reality "icons on the desktop" are more a function of the particular desktop than they are of "which version/release of the distro you are running" [but there is some linkage -- each release of SuSE has "the latest" (or nearly so) of each particular desktop environment, and features like "automatically setting up an icon" tend to be more-recent features...] OTOH, and in particular for SuSE, I believe the "susewatcher/suseplugger" program(s) will also "watch for" recently added hardware and sneak in icons when you aren't looking... -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
