VST Firewire Hard drive and Mandrake 9.2

I have a VST Firewire hard drive which I thought had been installed when I first installed 9.2. However, I now notice that there is no icon for in on my desktop like I see for my floppy, cdrom and memory card.

The firefire drive is listed under "unknown hardware" in hardware drake. It is not listed in File;/mnt.

When I boot the system I get a message something like "New hardware found. SDA. Do you want to configure, "OK. Cancel." If I tab to OK I get a list of my drive partitions. At that point I am not sure what to do next.

I am sure this is a simple problem to fix, but I have no idea how to do it.

I also seem to remember that there was an icon on the desk top for my internal hard drive, but that is not there anymore.

Many thanks for you help.

when u click ok and get partition do u see sda? if so click expert then click it and choose a mount point... then exit

i just did that but i wasn't sure how to pick a mount point. now i have 2 mnt/memory-card on my desk top. the first is empty and the second recognized my usb memory stick when i put it in.

so i musta done something wrong,
