If you are an Ubuntu/Linux user who has another partition on your hard disk, such as NTFS, FAT32 or any other type of partition. Every time you boot, you need to mount it manually, or you can create a script to make it automatically mounted. This tips is for those of you want to do automatically mount partition on every time you boot (using GUI) but don’t know how to make that script.

First, you need to install “Disk Manager”, you can use Synaptic to install it or you can use this command, both methods are the same.

$ sudo apt-get install disk-manager

After you already install it, now go to:
System -> Administration -> Disk Manager

You will now find this window:

To make it automatically mount on startup, you need to check “Detect new device on startup”. If you need to configure it, click on “Configure New Partition” button (see the picture below) and select which partition you want to configure using “Auto Configure” mount point or you can make a different mount point.

Ok, just that’s it. Now, reboot your machine.

At the first time boot (this is apply only at the first boot), a new icon will come at the upper right corner of the task bar, an icon of Disk Manager. You can click on it and than just apply the changes. Now your partition will automatically mounted at boot.
