I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on my laptop. I have two partitions one for OS and one for files. Since I was using Windows 7 both partitions were NTFS and now I need to mount the files partition everytime I use my computer.
Is there a way to easily automate the process? Some Google methods I have tried didn't help at all. I already tried a tool called NTFS Configuration Tool.
Any clues MUO crowd?
Thank you.

Thank you very much for all of your comments, I solved the problem by installing the Storage Device Manager and edit the partition attribute from there. Thank you.

Usually when you install Ubuntu the local drives are already mapped and that includes the CD/DVD, USB's. But this is a good source for how to move forward if you're having problems. http://industriousone.com/blog/mounting-windows-shares-linux

Depends on which Google methods you have tried. Have you tried the official ways already? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitionsUsually you just put it into "/etc/fstab"... assuming Windows is on /dev/sda1 and you are using the ntfs-3g driver the line should look something like this:/dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
