Respectfully, no, I am NOT having the same problem. In fact, not a problem at all now.
I forgot to install ntfs-3g. Now both my USB external and my Vista internal hard drive mount
at bootup and also appear on my desktop as I like them to be.

No, in KDE my USB EXTERNAL was unreachable. BIG problem there as all my media is on it.
In Gnome, it just appeared on my desktop from the get-go. it was the other Windows hard drive
I had to go in and automount by clicking on it and typing in the root password. By installing ntfs-3g,
I have solved that problem too.
