Auto-Mounting on Boot.

I recently got my problem with mounting my NTFS drive resolved.

Now, I need it to auto-mount on boot-up but do not know how to do this.

I do have my Drive C (windows) auto-mounted as a FAT32, but this was done on install for Red Hat 7.3

I have Grub installed, not Lilo.

How do I set my Linux to auto-mount the following:

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d

Add the line

/dev/hda5 <TAB> /mnt/D <TAB> ntfs <TAB> defaults,ro,umask=022 <TAB> 0 0

to you /etc/fstab file, replacing the <TAB> with a real <TAB>, or spaces if you insist.

Once again, I am in your dept. The formula worked flawlessly. <smiles>

Thanks again.
