Just edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi
You need to comment out one line:
Code:

     <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
        <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
         <!-- THIS LINE --> <!-- <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> --> <!-- THIS LINE -->

          <match key="volume.is_mounted" bool="true">
            <!-- Show /media/ drives -->


Additionally you may write new rules for your file system (take vfat fs as example)

excuse my ignorance, but if you want to make your HDD partitions automountable, why not just adding them to your fstab?

If your friend brings you his HDD to copy your music or so, you should not discover partition scheme, edit fstab etc. Just plug his HDD into your computer and turn it on.
