[Ubuntu Chicago] Pmount a Hard drive

I'm running a Three boot system, with three hard drives (40G, 60G, 80G).
The 40g and 80g are attach to the primary and secondary IDE on the
motherboard.  The 60g is attached to an IDE add-on card.

This is how I have it setup: The 40g is NTFS (Windows XP), the 80g is a
fat 32 (Vfat). They are both setup as master hard drs with cd/dvd as the
slaves. The 60g is split with Win98se on one side and Ubuntu 6.10 on the
other side. You may ask why I did this, my reason is that I have a lot
of old games that will only run on Win98.  

My problem is the vfat 80g or the Win98 (60g)does not show up in the
computer section of Ubuntu.  I have not been able to figure out how to
pmount them for access or have them displayed in the computer section.
Earlier I was running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and had no problems with the
system. Yes I had to pmount the 80g and 60g (win98)to get access. I have
not change the configuration of the computer I just upgraded to Ubuntu
6.10, now I lost that access.

Can you please advise me on how I can solve this problem so I can use
the 80g (vfat) for additional storage space.

Thank You
