I think that thing is just for external drives.  If you look here:

You've already got them mounted at /storage and /fat32store so you can just 
add shortcuts to those mountpoints to the Places menu.  To do that, just go to 
/ in a file browser window and drag the storage and fat32store directories into 
the sidebar.
