Hi everyone,

Every time I start my laptop, I must point to Places menu and mount the drive D: where contains my documents. D: and Linux partition are different. I want to mount automatically when the computer starts. How does that make such that?

And the other one is:

I must type a long command to change current directory, e.g:
$ cd /media/Programs/Study/Linux....
I want to make a script and place it in the user's folder. To go to the directory quickly, I need to run the script.

I always appreciate any solutions.

Thanks and best regards,

You could do it with a script but edit /etc/fstab is the the way to go.
First cp /etc/fstab /etc/orig-fstab Do it as root/sudo
example fstab
You would normally mount it like
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb(1) /mnt/where-ever/
