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.
