Carl,
You are exactly right...
I only had in the new drive when I did the new
install... I later added the old drives ... which are
seen on boot, but there are no commands to auto mount
them... I am reading the manuals and postings here to
learn how to do that... (but am on the cautious side
and do not want to screw up what I have... I did that
with trying to reset the screen res to one my monitor
could not handle and was never able to find a way to
undo it and had to reinstall qthing).

When I did dmesg as suggested by another post there
are references to hdc (which I cannot find in /dev and
so can not even mount manually).

The read of fstab:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3  
 defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3  
 defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts
 gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc  
 defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs 
 defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3               swap                    swap  
 defaults        0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto  
 noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

Thanks all for you help
I'll learn this stuff yet-
