I usually dont have much need for the NTFS filesystem round here so most of our external drives are all formatted with either ext3/4... with the odd Fat32/WBFS flung in for good measure.
Even the ones i do use for the computers are usually just plugged in as and when needed. I do have bootable usb/flash drives but i`ve never installed anything to an external usb/sata drive that required it plugged in at boot time.
If your desperate to have it mounted at bootup though you could try sticking an entry for it in your fstab.
The "Mounting NTFS Partitions (with read/write privileges)" section in the
9.10 guide will explain how.

Is it me or does there seem to be endless why did you leave windows polls. or why is windows so bad polls etc
Ah well,
Ill go on a Ath5k quest I think and see if its that although im not holding my breath. |
Probably another silly question but i`ve made the oversight myself with WICD......when your trying to connect with it are you first making sure that whatever your wireless card is listed in ifconfig as is also what it`s listed in WICD`s preferences as.
Your right about the UF poll thing btw, the young bucks over there especially...they love a bit of hating to themselves.
Good luck with your next quest regardless.
You could always admit defeat and just stick Windows on the thing..
