How to mount HDD in Ubuntu??

[bhushan2k]

Hi. Guys. I have installed Ubuntu on my HDD. After that I have attached other HDD and restarted computer in ubuntu. After restarting in ubuntu other hdd partitions detect but not mount automatically. I have to mount everytime after restart in ubuntu. So how should I configure partitions of hdd so that it will mount automatically at every restart (like 'computer management' in windows)

u shud post here the output of command :

:~$ sudo fdisk  -l

here.
we can make /etc/fstab entries for you that which will automount ur partitions.
else if u want u can have a look at *ubuntuguide.org the site explains all these things nicely

First of All,I am explaining how to have the things done fast.
if u care to know what all below commands are doing u can try:
*www.ubuntugeek.com/widows-ntfs-partitions-readwrite-support-made-easy-in-ubuntu-feisty.html
^ this method may be easier for u.else try my HW2:
edit ur /etc/fstab to accomodate the second harddisk entried.first of all you can read only ur ntfs partitions unless you install ntfs-3g.
so open menu System>admin>Synaptic manager-install ntfs-3g
editing /etc/fstab:
press ALT+F2 to get run dialog then enter below commands and run,when asked give ur local user passwd:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

at a new line last of the page,enter below lines:

/dev/hdc1      /media/hdc1     ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8  0  0

/dev/hdc5      /media/hdc5     ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8  0  0

/dev/hdc6      /media/hdc6     ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8  0  0

warning:dont enter both below and above entries
if ur yet to install ntfs-3g or dont want to have write access,try below lines instead :

/dev/hdc1    /media/hdc1 ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0
/dev/hdc5    /media/hdc5 ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0

/dev/hdc5    /media/hdc6 ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0

save and exit.
now open a terminal and run below commands:

:~$sudo mkdir /media/hdc1 /media/hdc5 /media/hdc6

^ afterwards run:

:~$sudo mount -a

then go to Places menu>Home for Nautilus file manager.browse to /media/ directory.u can see ur ntfs partns of second hdd is mounted in directories /media/hdc1,/media/hdc5, /media/hdc6
