Some Mounting information seems missing?

i wasn't following much in the previous conversation. good job in trying 
to understand mount :D

if the partition is not showing when you type mount, this means it's not 
mounted yet. did the guys tell you how to mount it? if so, try to use 
that command and then check mount. if not, we want to know how it was 
mounted last time, maybe through dolphin's automount?
anyway, to mount a partition automatically, it has to be listed in the 
file /etc/fstab . as soon as you think you understand mounting, try to 
learn fstab. type the following on the command line:
konqueror man:/fstab
