Mount partition when starting Linux Mint?

Hello, friends.

My system is:

I've created a few desktop shortcuts to the NTFS data partition and want to mount them at startup. I've added what I believe is a proper line to fstab.

But instead of mounting the partition, it no longer exists at all.

I put a # in front of it, now it's back, and I always have to click on it first so that it mounts, but I would prefer it to mount at startup.

I'm sure you'll immediately notice what a mess I've made again, so let me know.

By the way, I can take criticism.

Code: Select all

 /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' 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> # / was on /dev/sdb5 during installation UUID=bd5e3340-5529-43c6-b1d7-14dfc13b91c3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /boot/efi was on /dev/sdb1 during installation UUID=1ADD-4065 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 # /home was on /dev/sdb7 during installation UUID=00f53a7d-83ef-42cb-8240-9f9f11c1270d /home ext4 defaults 0 2 /swapfile none swap sw 0 0 # UUID=01D92C865E54DD00 /dev/sdb6 ntfs defaults 0 2

Once this problem is solved, I'll move on to the next one: no sound on speakers.

And thank you very much for your efforts.
