(solved) Auto mount another internal partition

I have a shared partition between my Arch and my Windows7 in my HD. The drive is in NTFS format. How do I automount it upon boot?

I've tried:
UUID=0352059936CBAE58 /dev/sda2 /media/Data ntfs defaults 0 1

but that didn't work. There was another method on a Linux Mint forum, but neither did that.

Re: (solved) Auto mount another internal partition

Do I have to manually create the "/mnt/windows"?

Re: (solved) Auto mount another internal partition

EDIT: Fixed it. Found a typo error. Thanks for the help

Hmm... It's weird. It's not working, the automounting.

I have this in fstab:
/dev/sda2  /media/Data   ntfs-3g  users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002         0 0

But I have all my pictures on the partition /media/Data, and have symlinks from my /home pointing to it. And basically my wallpaper is in that /media/Data partition. Problem is, when I boot up, the chosen wallpaper doesn't show. Instead it's the green leaf wallpaper. Is this due to the mounting problem?
