How can you set a ntfs drive to mount automatically without losing data?

 
I want to mount the root of that second drive that has a lot of my saved
pictures and files  when  I used windows to store them a 2nd hdd.

 

Current setup:
Ubuntu 7.10 server edition

Webmin 1.4

 

Hdd to mount as read write that is local in computer

Hdb1

 

I am a novice to linux and webmin so please be descript.  I found ways to
mount it in webmin  but from the literature is sounds like it would erase my
drive and that cannot happen. I tried to edit the fstab also but I also
couldn't mount it.  The hard drive works if I boot to a windows partition
and browse it.

 

Thanks

Jim K
