    Auto mounting partitioned usb hard drive

    I have a Lacie 500GB usb hard drive split into 3 NTFS partitions.
    Can I get it to mount automaticly when turn it on?

    I'm running Kubuntu 7.04

    Yes. This should happen automatically. You can check Adept Manager for the package pmount:
    pmount

    mount removable devices as normal user

    pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.

    This package also contains a wrapper "pmount-hal" which reads some information like device labels and mount options from hal and passes them to pmount. Install the package "hal" if you want to use this feature.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
