usb hardrive

[Douglas Pollard]

My usb hard drive sdh1 shows up at the bottom of the below list in terminal. There is no icon in ( places, home) to open.  I assume this is because it is not mounted at start up. I plan to do all my backups to this drive. Without backup I feel pretty naked when it comes to trying to get the partition to mount at start up. I don't need all my files screwed up.  I am not really sure mounting is the problem.  
		Please help
