Hi!
I recently migrated from Windows to Ubuntu, but I made some mistakes in the installation that I'm paying for. My main problem is this:
When Ubuntu partitioned my hard drive, I thought that it would be a wise decision to partition it into four drives:
1. Linux-swap (8Gb)
2. Windows NTFS (28Gb)
3. Ubuntu (28Gb)
4. A FAT32 drive which could be accessed from both OS. (402Gb)
But after I had installed everything, I could not read the FAT32 drive from either Windows nor Ubuntu. I was finally able to solve this by installing GParted, and I could change the FAT32 into a ext3 system. The problem is that after I did this, the drive does not mount automatically. So every time I start Ubuntu, I have to start GParted and mount the drive manually.
How can I solve this? I've got four partitions right now. In GParted, they are listed as:
/dev/sda1 linux-swap 8.01G
/dev/sda2 ntfs /windows 27.95G
/dev/sda3 ext3 / 27.94G
/dev/sda4 ext3 /media/commonfiles 401.87G
