Is this an external drive of an internal drive?

If it's an internal drive, you probably should not put it under /media, that's 
an area that ubuntu/kubuntu uses for external drives

If it's an external drive, you probably should not have it in fstab as it's not 
always going to be there (or at least, you should not have it set to automount 
at boot)

so before we go further, is this an external drive or internal drive?
