Hello friends,

I have installed the second drive, I have partition it and now it is OK. How could I make it to mount automatically at boot so it could be accessed easily, please?
I understand that I have to use some commands (forgot where I read that) but have no idea how to do it.
Is there an application with GUI to do that, so I will not make mistakes in terminal?

Thank you! :)

I read that to get info about current drives to use: sudo fdisk -l .

The info on my drives is below. First drive is listed below as second: sdb is the boot drive with three partitions, one for OS, 2nd for swap file and 3rd for movie storage.
The second drive is sda of 1TB with some data on it and I wish to make it auto mount. Please help.
