man , it's not working
this is how my fstab looks like

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

First you must know what partition is the disk.

The way to know; open a terminal, type:

sudo fdisk /dev/sda
, enter your password, type: p, now you can see a list of partitions in your hard disk, write down the first part of the line where the partition you want to mount is, example: /dev/sda3.

Pulse q to exit from fdisk.

Create a folder where mount it, example: /dos

Now edit /etc/fstab with your prefered editor, must use sudo to gain write access to the file.

Edit or add a line to automount this partition, like this:


/dev/sda3 /dos -t vfat defaults,umask=007 0 1

Note I've used the examples above, /dev/sda3 and /dos change as your needs.

Next time you boot the partition will be automounted, if you want to test before reboot try in a console:


mount /dev/sda3

also must work:


mount /dos

That's all folks :popcorn:

im sorry, the uuid should be without the brackets. also as incoll says you could replace the "uuid" part with the "/dev/whatever" part, as outputted by either blkid or fdisk.

note that the fdisk part only works for your first sata disk (/dev/sda), while blkid works for all partitions on all harddisks.

it's working

this is how my fstab looks like now

UUID=c8354ff2-11f2-4f94-97b6-28ccffa3489c / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=217fde02-826e-4ca7-bbd0-633c19364046 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
# /dev/sda3
UUID=1875-09B3 /media/disk vfat umask=000 0 0


it is important to define umask,in order to be authorized to write on that partition
thanks all of you !
