Glad you've solved it, CaperAsh.
Re your question about what to put instead of -----, when you mount a drive by right-clicking the desktop icon or selecting it in Thunar, the system, by default, creates a directory in /media/user using the drive label as the directory name, then mounts the drive at that point. If you want to mimic that, and assuming that you are user CaperAsh, the mount point should be /media/CaperAsh/BIG HD.
If using crontab as I suggested, you would need two commands in the root crontab:
@reboot mkdir /media/CaperAsh/"BIG HD"/
@reboot mount /dev/sdb1 /media/CaperAsh/"BIG HD"/
The inverted commas in the commands are needed because of the space in the directory name.
