Automount ntfs drives in ubuntu

Picture
Auto-mounting NTFS / Windows Partitions in Ubuntu is actually really easy. It’s great, for example, if you have a partition you share between Windows and Linux with files on.

Set NTFS/Windows Partitions To Auto-Mount1. Go to Applications > Add/Remove

2. Search for 'NTFS Configuration Tool'

3. Install it.

Once installed make sure any drive you wish to Auto-mount is unmounted. Do this either my restarting Ubuntu and not mounting the drives, or by ejecting them via nautilus’ side-pane or the terminal.
