I can't help you with desktop stuff, since I do all my mounting and
file-management via cli / tui (mc) tools.  I have no idea if
repartitioning would make a difference, but it seems rather a drastic
step for such a simple thing as desktop visibility.

Sorry I can't help with the desktop stuff.  I still recommend you check
if the data is there and accessible.  This way, if you repost the
question, you'll be able to say exactly what works and what doesn't.
