Ok, so the installation program only sees the drive/partition that is running when you install and grub, when it starts does not find any other drives

It possibly helps to know exactly what OS is on the other internal drives that don't mount: and since you know about grub, fstab and how to mount devices, you may also know that grub setup to mount other partitions may require some editing..

No other Os on the other internal drives, and lmde only sees the drive i will install it to, not the other ones where i have all of my documents, pictures and so on.
"that grub setup to mount other partitions may require some editing" not when the installation is like ubuntu. There i can choose to have all of my drives mouted during the installation. Not all have only 1 harddisc, many have more.

Sorry. But why do you want that anyway?
