How to mount NTFS drive at startup

I need to run .exe files on my Vista partition but I can't give them the right permissions so I need a way of auto mounting with the full permissions in order to run any files I need, otherwise I have to manually mount it each time I need it.

@kar: It would be except this is an extension of this answer and the details are a bit different I think. — Nathan Osman, Dec 18 '10 at 21:38

In order to do this, you'll need to edit /etc/fstab.

Make a backup of the file with the following command:
```
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
```
Now open the file with gedit:
```
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
```

At the bottom, add the following:

/dev/sda1 /media/vista/ ntfs fmask=0022,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Restart and make sure that it is now mounted when you log in.

Install ntfs-config
After installation you can access it under System > Administration > NTFS Configuration Tool.
Select the appropriate drive you want to get mounted.
