http://crunchbang.org – For the error when trying to manually mount it, as it says you need to be root or use sudo to mount it. I'd trysudo mount -avas it uses the fstab options to mount it and you'll see if it errors out. Piping dmesg to a grep for sda3 might give a clue to why it fails during boot.dmesg | grep sda3HTH (HowTos)

Yesterday I decided to delete my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition, and create my Ext4, since my exposure to my Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.

This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.

I can now mount the filesystem manually & everything works fine. What am I now supposed to do to enable the automount? Any insights or guidance as to what I can do would be much appreciated.
