Wish to mount an NTFS harddrive at boot

Asked by Jay Lozier

Ubuntu 10.10 - 64 bit AMD

I wish to have an NTFS drive mount automatically at boot. The drive has my data and because I must use Window$ for some work projects I must leave the drive as an NTFS drive. I sometimes forget to mount the drive.

The computer is a dual boot with each OS on its own dedicated drive and the data on its own separate drive.

You can add the partition to the list in /etc/fstab and it will mount at boot

if you've never accessed the drives/partitions before, go into terminal and type "mount". this will mount all attached devices. after that, if you're using one of the GUI desktops, the first time you read/write from the drive/partition after you log in, it will automatically mount..
