Check into  the file   /etc/fstab   

This is where partitions are specified for automounting at boot time.

The entry you would need is:

/dev/sda?      /<mount point name>         NTFS      defaults      0   2

where the sdb?  would be a partition on the 2nd hard drive.  (sda being the 
first.  Parhaps in your situation it would be reversed)

The ?  is replaced by the partition number on the drive.
