You don't. Removable hardware just appears (gets automounted) and changing/adding internal disks includes a reboot anyways, making them appear automatically after that. Average users carry their computer to a repair store if they feel something needs to be changed inside the case.

Not including non-essential administration tools reduces confusion and enhances user experience. BTW:, obviously, somebody decided disk space is tight. Gutsy doesn't come with a working C compiler either, which I'd consider far more essential than a graphical partition editor (think about installing non-packaged software).
