when i would mount a drive (internal, external, ntfs) in 9.10 it would ask for the root password. now 10.04 doesn't do that. how can i go back to that scenario?

thank in advance, MIKE...

Please post the contents of your /etc/fstab file. If they have an option like "users", then it would give regular users access to mount the drives.
