<div dir="ltr">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: <pre style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0</pre>I advice you to follow up the wiki: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G</a> 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. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 8:25 AM, Bob Cortez <<a href="mailto:rjcortez@gmail.com">rjcortez@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I know this is something that should be easy to do. So I come here hat in hand asking for assistance yet again. Spent most of today reading, researching, trying and failing. Had a couple of close calls that I thought perhaps I brought the system down beyond repair. Here's what I have /dev/sda4 /media/Disk1 Partition /dev/sdb1 /media/Disk2 Hard Drive I can manually mount these drives going to Places|Removable Media and selecting either Disk1 or Disk2. All I want to do is automate that process so they mount like my two external hard drives. I'm pretty sure I have to edit the /etc/fstab file, but either I'm doing it wrong or I'm missing a step in the process. Your kind assistance without laughing too hard will be greatly appreciated.
