Automounting harddrives fails at startup

[heinzbitte]

I used to use 7.10 and my two ntfs partitions (one with windows and one storage) would always automount.

I updated to 8.04 and now during startup it says something like "Auto Mount disks(maybe filesytems or something, I forget) FAILED"

If I go to places and click on the drives it will mount them, but it doesn't automount.

It seems to be the same thing as this thread

but I didn't want to butt in there if it wasn't .

In Gutsy I noticed that my drives don't want to automount if there is something wrong with the NTFS file system. What I did in this case is to let chkdsk under windows run a scan on the ntfs disks and correct the errors. Afterwards, it automounted again.

Haven't had that problem in Hardy yet though.

Did you edit your fstab file to have them mount? If so please post it here, maybe we can see the problem.

try to install package pysdm in synaptic then open system administration and manage all your drives
