According to [Only Ubuntu](http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/auto-mounting-internal-drives-in-ubuntu.html), to
enable auto-mounting of internal drives on bootup, edit the file `/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi` and change
the line
false
to this:
true
From now on, internal drives should appear on your Desktop.
