Automatically mounting an NTFS partition at boot with rw permissions?

I have a Windows partition on my HDD which I want to mount at /run/media/adam/5EA427EBA427C47D at boot, and allow writing to it without typing in a password. How would I do this?

$ lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 931,5G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0   100M  0 part 
├─sda2   8:2    0 441,5G  0 part /run/media/adam/5EA427EBA427C47D
├─sda3   8:3    0     1K  0 part 
├─sda5   8:5    0   500M  0 part 
├─sda6   8:6    0    50G  0 part 
├─sda7   8:7    0    16G  0 part 
└─sda8   8:8    0 423,4G  0 part 
sdb      8:16   0 223,6G  0 disk 
├─sdb1   8:17   0    99M  0 part /boot
├─sdb2   8:18   0  15,9G  0 part [SWAP]
└─sdb3   8:19   0 207,6G  0 part /
sr0     11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

I looked this up online and it told me to add things to my fstab, but it did not work.

/etc/fstab

# /dev/sdb2

# /dev/sda2

What am I doing wrong?

You need to use ntfs-3g, not ntfs.

Thanks, I'll try that later (on my phone right now).
Is all of this necessary or just some of it?:

defaults,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 2

Check the manpage (man ntfs-3g) and decide for yourself which are necessary. Some may be redundant due to "defaults".
