How to automount NTFS partitions?

I'm a linux noob so you're going to have to talk noobish to me to understand...

I just installed the newest version of ubuntu on my computer and I am having some problems mounting my NTFS drive. On boot it asks me to skip the mounting process or do it manually. I'm not sure what to do. When I do try to mount, I get this error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sda2 on /media/286452716452422C – I got the NTFS mounting tool and it doesn't seem to work right... Any ideas would be most helpful.

You can try this:

Go to the dash and type "Terminal". Run it and type:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

This will prompt you to enter your administrator password. Enter it.

This will install a program, that as the name goes, configures you ntfs partitions in you drive.

In the following screenshot, configure your drive as I put it there

The program to configure the drive

Tick dev/sda2 and rename it to "/media/286452716452422C"

finally click auto configure.

Let me know if it works
