Ubuntu Auto Mount NTFS Drives at Boot

If like me you have a Linux drive, but also run NTFS drives for windows/buntu compatability reasons (in my case, simply archive drives that I haven't got around to moving from NTFS to EXT).

After nuking my machine thanks to trying a variety of advice found on the net. (I don't recommend you use pySDM - it Killed my machine thanks a a user interface that allows you to select the drive you want to edit on the left pane, but actually you are still editing your main drive!)

In fact the final solution was really easy.

To automate mounting NTFS partitions in ubuntu, simply do the following:

1. Make sure no drives are currently mounted that you want to automate

2. Install NTFS-config

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

3. Run NTFS-config

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. sudo ntfs-config

Select the drive you want to auto mount, tick all boxes
