        Last time I got this far I messed up my system so bad that I had to do a complete reinstallation.
        I would like to have a icon on my desktop that will allow me to access my external USB hard drive.  Hopefully I will then be able to read and write to it.
        This is the current state of reorganization:
Mandrake Control Center

Then there are two menu items:  "Configure Module" and "Run Config Tool"
It was with the Config Tool I somehow destroyed my system.
Please, how do I proceed from this point?
Is there very detailed instructions available on line?
