What login manager are you using ? If can't be GDM (gnome desktop manager) .... Its KDM i think.... Open KDE Control Center and go to login manager.... there you should be able to add more Desktop Managers.... for GNOME you have to enter gnome-session

Its a live CD, you cant do anything about it if your live CD is not mounting your partitions on startup... However i'm sure you are able to mount your partitions manually...

Mounting harddisk partitions manually

assuming that your C drive is FAT32, D drive is ntfs.

# mkdir /mnt/c
# mkdir /mnt/d
# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
# mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/d

On a live CD you can not write onto your /etc/fstab file, so you have to mount it manually everytime...
