auto mount usb hard drive

press CTL+ALT+T to get into terminal, then type

mount

do you see the drive now?

fred@fred-desktop:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)

none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/fred/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=fred)
fred@fred-desktop:~$

Is there a way to set it up to auto-mount drives?

I apologize I did not mean to be a source for answers about Ubuntu ...It is
actually I that needs help for I am brand new to this system and have very
little skill sets when it comes to knowing my way around....I do apologize,
I can assure you though that the level of knowledge and help that I have
received amongst the Open Source / Launch Pad and Overall Ubuntu help
experience has been more than adequate, in fact down right helpful...so I AM
SURE SOMEONE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS PROPERLY AND BEST OF LUCK!
