automounting External HDD FAT 32

[sourkraut]

I am trying to have a 500Gb external HDD automount at startup. I have found some posts that get me in the right direction but I do not have a fstab file that matches or even looks any where near what I need to change for /dev/sda*
The external is Fat 32 formated.
I am running Gutsy

here is my fstab

Disk /dev/hda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001ebbb

  Device Boot   Start     End   Blocks  Id System
/dev/hda1  *      1    9848  79104028+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2      9849    10011   1309297+  5 Extended
/dev/hda5      9849    10011   1309266  82 Linux swap / Solaris

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x62f4dc21

  Device Boot   Start     End   Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1        2    60801  488376000  f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5        2    60801  488375968+  b W95 FAT32

I would like the drive to be root write able and user read only
and the drive will be ALWAYS be attached!

UPDATE:

I have found this in the forums but like I said above my fstab does not have such a line for my /dev/sda*

Try editing your fstab with kdesudo kate by doing:
alt+f2->kdesudo kate->password and changing this:
Quote
/dev/sda1 /media/maxtor auto users,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

to this:

Quote
/dev/sda1 /media/maxtor auto users,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

Note the change form noauto to auto
