This will only work if Ubuntu has automatically discovered the Windows  
partition and created an entry for it, since /etc/fstab is a list of  
partitions to mount at startup. By the sounds of it, this didn't  
happen since Rick is looking to auto mount the partition at startup.

Also, the fact that he's using Ubuntu has nothing to do with whether  
the drive will begin with 'sd' or 'hd'. 'hd' is for ATA drives  
(usually IDE), while 'sd' is for SCSI disks, SATA drives and USB  
storage disks.
