Mounting drives at startup can be done by adding few lines to /etc/fstab first of all create one folder where u will mount the drive. Suppose in /media/c
In terminal Do: #sudo mkdir /media/c Then, type: # sudo gedit /etc/fstab & The gedit window opens. Now add a new line in the file as: /dev/sda1 /media/c NTFS-3G defaults 0 0 save and close the gedit window. Now when u restart the computer u will have sda1(sata(SCSI) primary master disk's first partition) frequently(not always) ur C drive in windows mounted in /media/c . To know if its hda or hdb or sda or sdb or others, simply check by typing: #sudo fdisk -l in the terminal. Enjoy!!! cheers.
