Mount at boot -- editing fstab

[nicholas.Platt]

I'm very much a newbie to the Linux scene, but I think I'm doing this right.
Thought that I would make sure before I restarted, however.

Is the the proper way to have my Windows partition mount at startup into Ubuntu?


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

[llama320]

UUID# /media/windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0

should work. If not, try

UUID# /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

just play around till you get it

Good Luck

EDIT: make sure /media/windows or /media/disk or /media/whatever exists before trying to mount it there. use

mkdir /media/whatever

to create the directory
