Well, I edited 'mtab' as root and deleted the first instance of 
'/dev/sda1'. I then rebooted and here is my 'mtab' without doing a 
physical 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' (something I do not have to do with the 
Kingston USB drive). Also, 'fstab' shows a mount point of '/' the same 
as my hda1. Does that make any difference? Still haven't found out how 
to make a volume label without reformatting and re-partitioning.

Thanks everyone for being very helpfully with this old codger!!
