Can Hardy automatically mount my XP partition when it starts up?


Here's a little bit of a long, drawn out story

I'm still somewhat new to the whole Linux game, so I've still got a lot of my personal documents over in my Windows partition, like music and .doc files, etc. One thing I liked about Ubuntu is that it automatically mounted my sda1 partition (which is XP on my computer) whenever I started it up. Hardy, however, doesn't seem to do that. I can still mount my partition without any problems at all, but it just doesn't do it automatically whenever I start up Ubuntu. It does mount my external drive, but not my sda1 partition.

While it's not an urgent or necessary thing, it would be nice and convenient to get it to mount automatically whenever Ubuntu starts up, so I can do something like open up Amarok and start listening to music without having to mount the partition first. Is that possible?

Yes - but you have to add it to /etc/fstab - there are a lot of threads here on how to do that.
