I am running a twin processor G4 using OS 10.5.1. I have two partitions with
old systems on a hard drive. These partitions do not mount in the sense that
their icons do not appear. Other partitions on the drive do have their icons
displayed. I can even reboot from them if I use System Startup to select
them (one at a time, of course). Disk Utility gives these partitions a clean
bill of health. Disk utility also seems to unmount and mount them although
their icons never appear on the screen.

What is happening? What can be done about it?

Whether it has anything to do with the problem, I just noticed that the two
partitions that to not mount are both journaled. I am trying to figure out
how to unjournal these partitions, but I do not know how.

Please, someone, I need a brief course in journaling.

Bill

So the icons don't appear on the desktop. Do they appear in the sidebar?

I had a situation recently when *nothing* appeared on my desktop as
icons (not just hard drives missing, but files and folders too). I cured
this by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist. Naturally I had to reset a
few items in the Finder Preferences after doing this.
