How to auto-recognize drive units on boot?

[Tassadar]

Hi all, I have a problem with my HTPC based on Kubuntu.

I have an SSD for the OS and a 2tb drive for files. Everytimes I boot the computer I have to go to Dolphin file manager and enter on the secondary drive that appears as a device; this is because it appears with a red croos icon, and when I enter on it it changes to a green ok icon.

If I enter XBMC without having done this, I can't access to the content of this drive, so I always have to enter dolphin and open drive before opening XBMC.

It's very annoying, so... how can I make kubuntu enable this drive automatically on every startup? It also happend if a use a USB hard drive, by default I cant access to it until I open in dolphin.

I want Linux to automount? (not sure if it's the appropiate word) all units on start and show them with green ok icon instead red cross.

Many thanks in advance

I solved this problem in this way:

see systemsettings -> removable devices -> attached drives

for all removable drives:
1) -> enable automatic mounting .........., click preferences
or for only that 1 drive:
2) -> select the usb driv -> click automount on login & automount on attach

Honestly, I really really can't figure out why this option is not enabled by default.
