Can I make Ubuntu mount the windows partition on startup?
 
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (duel boot with Vista) on a Lenovo Ideapad Y510. I have my documents, pictures, music, etc. folders stored on the Windows partition, with aliases in the Ubuntu default folders, as well as bookmarks, for easy access. However, I have to click on '26GB Media' every time I start the laptop before anything I have in that partition will show -- such as my desktop background, nautilus bookmarks, etc. It's only a slight inconvenience, but if there's an easy way to make it mount on startup, I'd love to know what it is. ;)

Thanks!

You can mount the Windows partition on startup by putting an entry in /etc/fstab for the Windows partition.
