i have searched through the internet and i have found ways to make my ntfs drive mount on startup, but when i try to do the ways i have seen i am unable to. for example i saw one walk through that informed me to go to system setting -> advanced and i should see disk and file utilities. but i do not see that option there. i also found one that informed me to install aptitude and that i would be able to configure it with that but i did the walkthrough to the point of opening the program but i could not find the program. any help would be great.

Re: Auto mounting ntfs volume.
Yes. You don't have your ntfs HD/partition listed. We will need to see how your HDs are identified and configured. Open a console and type:
Copy/paste the results in your reply.Code:sudo fdisk -l

Yes. Is this HD an internal HD, or external (USB)?Originally posted by duke8804Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Auto mounting ntfs volume.
it is external through esata which not sure how familiar you are but there is a cable that connects to the backplate of my desktop that the esata cable goes into and and i plug that into one of my sata ports. so not really sure how you would describe that.Comment

One addition,
