I did try including sdb2 as /suse10a with all other attribute like  
sda3, but still got permission denied, and when I mounted it I was  
told the access point did not exist.
As I cannot see what is on the drive, it is not easy to define a  
mount point...

It is visible in 'My Computer', but permission is denied for 'Mount'  
on right mouse click.
