As you can see, I divided the hard disk into four Linux partitions and four NTFS partitions.

3. Create a mount directory
ju@musicoder:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/d /mnt/e /mnt/f
ju@musicoder:~$ ls /mnt/
d e f
ju@musicoder:~$
4. Edit the/etc/fstab file (do not forget to back up the file)
ju@musicoder:~$ cd /etc/
ju@musicoder:/etc$ sudo cp fstab fstab_back_101118
ju@musicoder:/etc$ sudo gedit fstab
5. This is the opened fstab file.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda10 during installation

# /boot was on /dev/sda9 during installation

Add the following content for automatic mounting.
UUID=64F47CE6F47CBC3C /mnt/d ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
UUID=3C20C09B20C05E10 /mnt/e ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
UUID=DA68CADA68CAB493 /mnt/f ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
Of course, some people can add the following methods.
/dev/sda5 /mnt/d ntfs user,nls=utf8,umask=0222,gid=1000,auto 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/e ntfs user,nls=utf8,umask=0222,gid=1000,auto 0
/dev/sda7 /mnt/f ntfs user,nls=utf8,umask=0222,gid=1000,auto 0
6. After restarting, enter/mnt/and you will find the mounted partition.
ju@musicoder:/etc$ sudo shutdown -r now
7. If you want to put the partition on the desktop, just link it.
ju@musicoder:~$ ln -s /mnt/e /home/ju/desktop/e
The mounted windows partition will be found on the desktop.
8. Better methods (for individuals)
Ubuntu (10.04lts) is used by the user. When the partition is mounted to/Media/, a desktop icon is automatically displayed to open the partition. Therefore, it is better to mount the partition to/Media /.
1. Create a mount directory
ju@musicoder:/media$ sudo mkdir d e f
[sudo] password for ju:
ju@musicoder:/media$ ls
d e f
ju@musicoder:/media$
2. Edit fstab and change the mounted partition to/Media:
UUID=64F47CE6F47CBC3C /media/d ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
UUID=3C20C09B20C05E10 /media/e ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
UUID=DA68CADA68CAB493 /media/f ntfs defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312 0 0
3. You can delete all directories under/mnt/created previously.
