    You'll need to automatically mount the hard disk by making entries to the fstab file found under /etc/ folder.

    There is a GUI application for doing this called Storage Device Manager. In terminal type:

    sudo apt-get install pysdm

    The newly installed Storage Device Manager should be available under System-->Administration.

    Some guide to use PySDM
