mounting my internal sata drive?

[aruni100 at gmail.com]

Hi, all the partitions should be listed under the places menu. it will 
ask for the root password when we try to open it. Otherwise take the 
following example. I issue the following command in order to mount the 
ext3 partition which is /dev/sda3:
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 Documents. This mounts the sda3 partition 
in /home/MyName/Documents.
you can replace the type of partition and the directory where you want 
to mount.
Thanks,
Aruni.
