Put something like this in your /etc/fstab

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb5   /media/1000GB  ext3     noexec,rw,users,user,nodev  0  0
/dev/sdc1   /media/2000GB  ext3     noexec,rw,users,user,nodev  0  0

check from the commandline what drives you want to mount with the 
command: sudo fdisk -l

also make shure the folder in /media is present, you can name it what 
ever you want.

save and exit gedit and run the command: sudo mount -a

Now your drives will automount during boot and also appear on the desktop.
