Which desktop manager are you using ?

If it's Nautilus, just mark these partitions as mounted at boot time in 
/etc/fstab (or set this property in LinuxConf/Drakconf), nautilus will 
show an icon for each mounted volume on the desktop. If you don't, 
available volumes - I mean partitions listed in fstab - are also listed 
in the desktop right click menu and can be mounted by hand this way.

If ot's Kde/Kdesktop, choose the "Create new -> partition entry" (or a 
similar expression, I don't remember) in the desktop right click menu. 
Then, change the properties (right click-> properties) to match the 
fstab entry for each partition. Then you can mount/umount these volumes 
by right clicking on them.
