1) if you tried to run it manually... does that mean it wasn't running already?
2)is the dbus stuff running correctly?  /sbin/service messagebus status

3) does the outout of lshal  show your hdc and hdd devices?
there should be a block of output starting with  udi = something
and ending with linux.sysfs_path = something
for both the hdc and hdd device

for example look for block.device = '/dev/hdc' near the end of the
block of information that defines the hdc device

4) I'm still not sure what you attempted exactly, so its pretty
difficult to provide any feedback.
