Well you won't be able to access them through the desktop icon. Make a new one and put in this as the launch command:
nautilus --no-desktop --browser

make entries for them in /etc/fstab
if you don't want them mounted at boot, make sure you enter "noauto" (no quotes) as an entry.

they are in my fstab

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdf1 /mnt/hdf1 ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

perhaps this will help this is my fstab
