Kubuntu 8.04 partitions denied

[ray burke]

Can anyone help?
My problem has been for awhile now, as I have 3 partitions with my kubuntu 8.04,
sdb1=18gb /media, sdb2=20gb /home and 1gb swap, but only the 20gb
/home mounts auto when booted up and the sdb1 18gb /media dosen't
mount auto and when I try to mount, permission is denied.
The same happens with my remote usb hdd drive, which is a clone copy
for backup.
The sdh1 permission is denied when I try to mount but the sdh2 mount
auto, so how can I change it these to mount?
