how to mount hard drive.. permanently

[mrucci]

Hello all and thanx for reading

I have recently acquired the latest version of kubuntu and i love it! on my machine, it seems to be the best distro i have tried, as everything seems to work properly (except the printer but its a lexmark)

I am still a newbie with linux but i am learning :-)

my problem is this:

I have 2 internal hard drives, one with kubuntu, one with vista.
When the system boots, I have the loader screen and the option as to which way i would like to boot to kubuntu or boot into vista. that all works.

but when i try and access the files on the windows hdd while in kubuntu, i cant.

I had mounted it (mount /dev/sda2/ /media/windows) and all is well, but it doesn't stay that way
when i log out and back in i have to do that all over again.

can someone help me make it so my windows hdd is always mounted, and i don't have to go into the command screen everytime i boot up to access my music?

thanks for the help

Re: how to mount hard drive.. permanently

kmenu>system settings>advanced>disk & filesystems
go into admin mode (button near bottom right)
right click on your windows partition, select modify
give it a mount point (eg. /media/windows/)
tick enable at startup
ok
I think you may now have to select the drive and click the enable button at the bottom of window
should be done, if not post with what happened so far

If your hard drive uses ntfs:
