Are they actually being mounted, or is it just the icons? Do a df -h or 
a mount in a shell to see. If they are being mounted, it could be your 
policy settings.

Open up "System -> Preferences -> Authorisations", why it's in this menu 
is beyond me.

Have a look at "disks -> Mount a system internal device"

Implicit Authorisations should read

Anyone: No
Console: No
Active Console: Admin Authentication

See if there's any entry in Explicit Authorisations for your user and if 
so remove it.


If that makes no different, then it could be that the internal disks on 
your system are incorrectly being seen as external devices.

Have a look at "Disks -> Mount a device"

and set it to the same settings as above.
