    [Solved] How to prevent typing in password for all window partitions?

    I dual boot Kubuntu and Vista on my desktop. On the Windows side, I have 6 partitions.

    When I log onto Kubuntu, I have to type in the same password for all six partitions for the KdeSudo box.

    How can I either automate this, or prevent it from asking?

    I looked under the removable Devices tab of System settings.

    Everything was checked (enable automatic mounting of removable media and the three sub options.)

    I unchecked the "mount all removable media at login", rebooted and had six password requests.

    Then I unchecked the main "enable automatic mountain of removable media", rebooted, and still presented with password requests.

    Am I missing something obvious?

    Thanks!

    Assuming that Windows is installed on an internal HD, then add those partitions into your /etc/fstab accordingly.

      Editing the fstab was the key, thanks for the heads up!

      Knowing what to search for, found this decent step-by-step. Followed the instructions, rebooted, and came back up without asking for a password, and already mounted.
