The new version of Nautilus, which is the default file manager that is packaged with Ubuntu 8.04, has a feature built into it that will allow you to easily mount your drive.  I do not have any experience with using this feature with a partitioned drive, but I do use it with mounting a secondary SATA drive.  When I open Nautilus, I can see my secondary drive listed on the left side.  If I have not clicked on the drive name, then the drive is not mounted, but once I click on the drive name, the drive mounts, and all is good.  I have not seen this functionality in any previous version of Nautilus.

Does this feature not work the same way for you with your other drive partitions?
