Default Automatic mount/un-mount
Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way I can edit settings to make Ubuntu mount my internal floppy disk drive and my XP partition automatically upon startup, and unmount it when shutting down?
Would make life a lot easier for me as I constantly have to mount/unmount

For the Windows one, add this to /etc/fstab (needs admin privileges; if you use a graphical text editor launch it from the terminal with the command preceded by gksudo):
/dev/whatever /media/wherever ntfs users,defaults,umask=000 0 0

I don't think you'll be able to mount your floppy drive automatically, but I could be wrong.

GNOME should mount a floppy drive automatically.

Unless there's no floppy in.
Kinda hard to mount a non-existent filesystem...

KDE mounts it anyway, but shows it as empty.

GNOME should automount it when it detects a disl.
