After looking at this I went back and checked your fstab again. I hadn't
previously noticed the entries for hda1 and hda3 under "Dynamic entries":

Can you mount hdb1 and hdb3 as you could before?
At this point you should probably run fsck on all the file systems on
this drive. I recommend that you have a look at man fsck first and
choose your options carefully.

You could also try  manually mounting the drives as root, as Jonathan
recommended, but unless you in a hurry this might be a good time to
check your file systems and hard drive health. See also man hdparm and
man smartctl.

It just couldn't be simple!

I hope this helps
