@maximus, your HDDLiveCd is Ubuntu-based, isn´t it ?
I´m somewhat sure I didn´t configure anything in Ubuntu to prevent auto-mounting ( 12.04, 14.04 ) . The behaviour I see here is like you describe, that it will mount only if I click in the drives in the file manager .
But when working only through a terminal, or just starting the machine and then hddsuperclone, nothing is mounted.
Oh, to complete myself, USB drives get auto-mounted. Only SATA and IDE volumes don´t.
HDDLiveCD is currently based on Lubuntu 14.04. HDDLiveCD is supposed to have all automounting turned off in the settings. I did have some issues with the settings in some of my past versions, which did not turn the automounting off properly. It should not even automount a USB flash drive, but it will show up in the file explorer, and also likely on the desktop, where it could be clicked on to mount.
Just using a standard Ubuntu live CD will not turn off automounting. I do think that it may not automount hard connected disks that are present at boot, but anything connected afterwards will automount, even power cycling a SATA drive could automount it (assuming the BIOS is not set to IDE, as IDE is not plug and play and won't show up after booting).
