Hard drives not automounting in Intrepid

How do I get my hard drives to mount on startup?
I tried entering the appropriate lines from /proc/mounts in fstab

Code:

/dev/sdb1 /media/disk-2 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,flush 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/disk-3 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

When I did that, everytime I went to those drives, they gave an error about not having the correct permissions

BTW, disk-3 is a SATA drive

What is the output of "mount" after you boot?

Are you trying to mount the drives as root, or as an unprivileged user?

If the latter is true, have you tried adding the "user" or "users" option to the mount options?

What does "dmesg | tail -n 50" show when you try to mount the devices?
