NTFS partitions does not mount at startup in Ubuntu

Hey guys!
I have ubuntu Linux installed and running along with Windows XP since a year or so...! But everytime i boot in ubuntu, i have to mount the ntfs partitions. Can't it be mount at start up? Is it possible to mount the NTFS partitions while ubuntu boots? Help guys! Thanks in advance...!

Hey...!
This can be done easily...! I'm not sure if you are aware of "fstab" If you are, then use it... Select a proper mount point and done... All the best...!

Hi..!
Sorry for a noob question, but i'm not aware about it...:whistling Can you help me configure it...!? Thanks in advance...! Linux us easy to use but too difficult to understand...! :whistling

Hey...!
Just follow these instructions :

Open Terminal and type :

Code:

---

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

---

.

Now provide the root/admin password and press enter.

Now you will get a file something like this :

Code:

---

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc          proc    defaults        0      0
/dev/sda1      /media/WinXP    ntfs-3g defaults        0      0

---

Here WinXP will be the label of your NTFS partition that will appear in Ubuntu. Replace sda1 with the suitable disk of yours... Done...!
All the best...!

Hey..!
Also try this out :

Code:

---

sudo fdisk -l
sudo mkdir /media/Windows
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

---

Add the following line :

Code:

---

/dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,umask=000,rw 0 0
