Mounting and writing to second hard drive...

[zed <zed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

ITMA - if any one of you is old enough to remember?

I have 2 x 200GB hard drives in my desktop computer:

(1) one is formatted for Linux and contains my root, swap and Home
partitions with LinuxMint installed.

(2) the other is formatted with Ext3 for one partition only.

I can mount (2) by going in to Computer and clicking on Mount but I cannot
write to the drive.

Questions>

(a) What do I do to have the drive mount at boot?

(b) What do I do to gain permanent permission to write to the drive?

What I intend to do is to use this drive to hold pictures, audio files and
backups of my Home directory in appropriate folders.

As usual, your advice would be much appreciated.

And the weather hasn't improved in New Zealand since my last email.  It is
now "bucketing" down, the wind has increased markedly, and I'm going to tuck
myself up in bed :-)
