There is nothing in your fstab to tell Ubunutu that you have a second
drive.

Depending on the media type, there should be an entry along the lines of:

# /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1    /media/windows ntfs  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0

or

# Entry for /dev/sdb1 :
UUID=<long-uuidnumber-ofsdb1> / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
