just add the lines to /etc/fstab for eg: if you needed to mount a vfat partition, say, sda1 then you add: /dev/sda1 /media/mount_point vfat defaults 0 0 Note: if your partitions are ntfs then you need special drivers: install ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs then you add the line /dev/sda5 /media/ddrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 you should be good to go On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 11:54 PM, Sajjad Anwar <sajjadkm@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > okay. i somehow managed to retrieve the old settings by mounting it > manually and reverting the change i had made. > > But my ultimate need was to mount that partition during startup > automatically. any hit? > > > On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 10:56 PM, Sajjad Anwar <sajjadkm@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hello all. >> >> Im running Ubuntu 9.04.
