Getting Started
1. Open the terminal and crate a folder for your hard disk under the /media location with the following command:
sudo mkdir /media/myfolder
Rename myfolder to whatever you want.
2. You have to know now the name of the target hard drive (/dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, etc.). You can use GParted or simply run one of these commands from the terminal:
sudo fdisk -l
or
df -h
3. Edit now the /etc/fstab file with this command:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
At the end of the file, add this line:
/dev/sda3 /media/myfolder ntfs auto,rw,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8 0 0
Replace /dev/sda3 with your own HDD name and replace also myfolder with the one already created.
Press Ctrl+Q and save your file.
4. Run now this command to verify if the hard drive is well mounted:
sudo mount -a
That's it!
