To automatically mount an NTFS drive on Ubuntu at startup with RW permissions for all users, add the following line to /etc/fstab:
UUID=146A91D346A61CBD4 /media/DATA ntfs-3g exec,rw,umask=000,users,gid=users,nls=utf8 0 0
where the UUID number for your NTFS partition can be found at the command line by entering:
sudo blkid
