Hi Aaron,
If you set up the drive in your fstab to be auto mounted at boot time it should
work. There is lots of info in the ubuntu forums about fstab ("file system
table"), but the simple edit is:
1) find out the device name using "mount". It should be something like
/dev/sda#.
2) unmount the drive: sudo umount /dev/sda#
3) make a directory to mount the drive: sudo mkdir /media/70G_drive (or
/media/win, or whatever)
4) back up your fstab file: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
5) edit your fstab file: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
6) add the text:
# Below added by Aaron to mount windows partition
/dev/sda# /media/70G_Drive ntfs user,auto,umask=000,sync
0 0
When you start up, the drive should always mount to the same place and
appear on the desktop. If not, follow mahiyar's directions here:

configuration.
Cheers
