If that was written it was a typo, each OS is on it's own drive (see above for
detail) sdx changes, sometimes the Win7 disk is just not there (usually after a
few reboots)

Assuming the cmdline was based on the (maybe) typo I ran it for each drive
kenya at Cludia:~$ udisksctl info -b /dev/sda|egrep Hint"(Auto|System)"
HintAuto: false
HintSystem: true
kenya at Cludia:~$ udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb|egrep Hint"(Auto|System)"
HintAuto: false
HintSystem: true
kenya at Cludia:~$ udisksctl info -b /dev/sdc|egrep Hint"(Auto|System)"
HintAuto: true
HintSystem: false
kenya at Cludia:~$

what "should" fstab for that drive look like? I did use disks to set it
automount but ...
I'm running short of time this morning will be back in 3(ish) hours,
