Hard drive mounting settings lost on reboot

Hi,

I'm having real problems mounting a second hard drive on Kubuntu 6.06. I've set a mount point, set it all up, enabled it, and then mounted it in Konqueror (using root). Works fine. The problem is that once I reboot linux, the mounting settings are lost. As well as this I get error messages saying "KLauncer could not be reached via DCOP" whenever I try to run a program after mounting the drive.

It've tried everything I can think of and I'm still stuck,
Please help me,
Thanks

Permanent mount settings are kept in the /etc/fstab file. Did you set up a line for it there?

Yeh i've already set it up there, but it still won't work.

However, just 5 mins ago I've got it to work!

For anyone else with the same problem, here's what to do.

Go into a Konosole window and type:

sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /home/dhulme

(The first location being the drive you want to mount, and the second where you want to mount the disk)

It's so simple, I don't know why it took me so long to find this out!
