Enabling external HDD

In a Kubuntu 7.04 system, I have a USB-attached HDD that I intend to use
primarily for file backup, but have not discovered how to configure and
enable it.

The "Disk & File Systems - System Settings" screen reports this device with
:

	Name				Mount Point	Type	Device
Enabled
	Removable USB Disk SP1203N
		1 Partition 108.9 Gb  	/usb		ext3	/dev/sda1
Disabled
		2 Partition 1.0 Kb	/media/floppy0	auto	/def/fd0
Disabled
		5 Partition 2.9 Gb	none		swap	/dev/sda5
Enabled

What must I do to enable the first partition?  (The "modify" subscreen of
"Disk & File Systems - System Settings" does not seem to provide for this,
even after I modified its Mount Permissions to permit any user.)

The just-mentioned "modify" screen does provide an "Enable at start up"
toggle, which I turned on before rebooting the system.  However, doing this
did not relieve the problem.

Cheerio, Henry
