Auto Mount NTFS Partition/Drives on boot up.

[Waleed Harbi]

Greeting Bob,

first we do not know which NTFS driver you have used?

Anyhow, add your mount command for the ntfs partition in /etc/rc.local

OR

Update fstab base on this syntax:

*<your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0*

I advice you to follow up the wiki:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G

Be aware when you change any thing in the fstab, before you change any thing
READ READ READ :)

Best Regards,
Waleed Harbi
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
