Issue
I have a Linux Mint installation. Every time that I boot, I need to manually mount the two partitions on my computer(New volume D
and Drive C
). If I don't do this, these drives don't show up anywhere. I want to know if there is some way to automate this process.
Goal
Automatically mounting all the partitions on the hard disk each time I boot.
Specs
Linux Mint 14 dual boot with Windows XP SP3
