I fixed the problem by mounting them by UUID in the fstab, you can view the ''UUID'' for your harddrives by entering: ''sudo blkid''

Make a back-up of your fstab file:

<code>sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig</code>

**Make sure you tripple check the >>, if you place one > you overwrite your fstab!**

<code>sudo blkid >> /etc/fstab</code>

If you still screwed up you can replace your fstab with the original:

<code>sudo cp /etc/fstab.orig /etc/fstab</code>

Next make a folder:

<code>sudo mkdir /media/mydrivename</code>

Configure the fstab:

<code>sudo vim /etc/fstab</code>

Don't forget to comment the output from the blkid with a '#' on the beginning of the lines!

Add this to the fstab file, you can find the UUID in the block on the bottom you inserted with the command above. media/mydrivename is where the partition should be mounted.

<code>UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   /media/mydrivename ntfs    permissions,locale=en_US.utf8    0   2</code>

This is my fstab file:

<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).

</code>
Reboot the system by typing:

<code>sudo reboot</code>

To check if the partition is mounted you can type ''df -k''.

Give ownership to yourself:

<code>sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mydrivename</code>

**Did this on Ubuntu Server 14.04.01!**
