Why don't my partitions stay mounted after a reboot?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 in a wubi instalation.

As I'm using clementine to listen to music I have in my partitions, each time I power ubuntu up clementine loses the libraries and has to rescan the partition all over again.

A similar thing happens to Transmission bitTorrent client... each time i shutdown the computer and power it up again it loses the location of the files if they are in one of the partitions....

Is there a way to fix this problem? Is it normal?

Fist of all I must say that I'm a Linux noob that I had the same problem some time ago.

I think that your problem is related with the fact of Ubuntu don't automaticaly mount partitions other than the one with the system itself. Try to make a search in Google by "edit fstab" and take a look on that.

I solved my problem adding the following lines in fstab file:

#Windows7 auto-mounted partition

/dev/sda2   /mnt/Windows7   auto   rw,auto,user,exec,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,uid=1000   0   0
