In Raspbian I used to be able to just plug in my external HDDs and they would be detected I could then find them in /media/ using WinSCP and transfer files to them.

I haven't used Raspbian in a couple of months but now my hard drives are not mounted automatically.

I never set anything up to do this; I just got the Berryboot image and created a dual boot of Raspbian and OpenELEC.

If I do sudo blkid I can see the two connected drives:

/dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL="RECOVERY" UUID="4709-9D45" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="0001f106-01"
/dev/mmcblk0p3: LABEL="SETTINGS" UUID="b8e98431-ab33-4fb9-8933-5b3e363b715b" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0001f106-03"
/dev/mmcblk0p5: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="06B8-2B09" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="0001f106-05" 
/dev/mmcblk0p6: LABEL="root" UUID="56f71fec-4a79-4053-b2ef-4745c54a4fc2" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0001f106-06" 
/dev/mmcblk0p7: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="2F1B-4CCB" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="0001f106-07" 
/dev/mmcblk0p8: UUID="866e98d8-87fa-446f-8101-f2baa9287a3f" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0001f106-08" 
/dev/sda1: LABEL="MediaOne" UUID="BE56479256474A7B" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="MediaThree" UUID="6276D81D76D7EFB1" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="0001f106" PTTYPE="dos"

The only difference is now I am using the Pi hut 7 USB hub but I've connected a hard drive directly to the Pi and it still doesn't auto mount. If I boot into OpenELEC the drives are mounted perfectly.

Can anyone suggest what may have changed to be causing it to no longer mount automatically?
