Displaying Drives in "Computer" (Nautilus) in GNOME
Hello. I'm running Arch with two IDE drives, one Arch, one Windows FAT32. I want the FAT32 drive to appear in "Computer" in GNOME. I only see my CD-ROM, floppy, and "Filesystem." How can I make that drive (or better still, both drives) appear in this particular view of Nautilus? The drive is in the /mnt folder, but I want it represented as an icon in Computer.
I've researched fstab, HAL and Udev, but I didn't find anything that resolves it. Thanks in advance.

Try to mount it in /media instead of /mnt.

Re: Displaying Drives in "Computer" (Nautilus) in GNOME
Thanks for that tip. But how can I ensure that this is done dynamically, as is done with USB flash drives? All I have to do is plug in a flash drive and an icon for it appears on my desktop. Is there a way to ensure that this happens with hard drives as well? So that regardless what hard drives, and how many, are installed, they are detected at boot and presented in GNOME the same way?
