+###################################
+Auto-Mounting Non-System Drives
+###################################
+
+You can automatically mount additional drives that isn't the root (or /) drive.
+
+Disk application
+================
+
+Firstly, open up the *Disks* program from your start menu.
+
+You will have a list of drives that are there for you to choose from. Choose the one that you want to auto-mount.
+
+Next, left-click the partition that you want to mount, usually your largest partition. Click the settings button to pull up "Edit Mount Options".
+
+.. note::
+
+	Windows uses a completely different file system to Linux Mint. Although there is compatibility for ExFAT, It is better for newly bought drives to be put to the EXT4 file system.
+
+In the Mount Options dialog that opens, you will see the option "User Session Defaults" is usually turned on. Turn it off to manually configure mount options.
+
+You’ll now see more options like:
+
+* Mount at system startup: Make sure this is enabled to auto-mount at boot.
+* Show in user interface: This will allow the partition to appear in the file manager.
+
+Make sure to enable both for auto-mounting to work properly.
+
+Reboot your system and see on the desktop and file manager if your drive has mounted properly.
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+Have you: 
+
+1. Checked that the drive is under ``/mnt/`` instead of ``/media/`` when mounting? Change said directory if it is under ``/media/``.
+2. Checked your drive? You may have to format it again if it fails to mount, but appears on computer.
+3. Selected your disk in *disks* and use the menu in the top right corner and select "smart data and tests" to see if your drive is fine? you should see OKs in the "assessment" column.
+4. Check your wiring if it doesn't show on the *disks* program?
