Create the mount point for the disk








sudo mkdir -p /hdd/windows7[/code]

Edit /etc/fstab as root
kdesudo kate /etc/fstab[/code]

# /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).
