Howto Automount NTFS partitions in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)  

Posted

Yeah, From Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) onwards, we have NTFS read-write support using the 3rd party tool ntfs-3g, however, its a PITA to mount the NTFS partitions every time we boot into linux. Here is how to automate it once and for all.

1) Install ntfs-config
sudo aptitude install ntfs-config
2) Launch it from Applications > System Tools > NTFS Config
Enable auto mount for your drives and ensure to select "Enable write support for internal drives".

Thats it! Now you dont have to manually mount the NTFS drives.
