sudo apt-get install pysdm
Or search for it in Ubuntu Software Center
Now fire it up from System > Administration > Storage Device Manager. Once running, from the left hand side panel choose the partition you want to be mounted on startup (expand the hard drives list first). Then click on “Assistant” on the right side.
Now you are presented with the options window. Just check the “The file system is mounted at boot time” and uncheck the “Mount file system in read-only mode”.
