I tried to read some posts regarding mounting a new hard drive, but I am facing some problem. My new hard drive is sda1. The output of sudo fdisk -l is:

A possible recommendation, which will mount sda1 at system startup with read-write permissions for you and your group, and read-only permissions for others, might be adding this line to /etc/fstab:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1> /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1> ntfs defaults,auto,nls=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113 0 0

And if you don't have any plans for a shared use of this drive with Windows, you can prefer using EXT4 format and then add this line instead:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1> /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1> ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2

Note: You can get the UUID and Label of SDA1 using GParted.

  The command mount is entered in Terminal, fstab entries like this is another way achieving the same result. AFAIK mounting partitions in this way, i.e. via fstab entries (especially using UUIDs instead of Labels) should not normally interfere with each other, and should not cause any data loss other than gaining full or restricted or no access to this or that device. In any case you might also use Clonezilla to backup a partition in a matter of minutes before trying.

  @shank22 : 1) I assumed that you're happy with the existing format of sda1 and would not want to re-format it unless you have a good reason to do so, in which case you should of course use other options for fstab, 2) the existing NTFS format of your sda1 might be more convenient if you intend to use this disk drive from a non-Linux operating system like Windows now or in the future. Otherwise you can of course prefer EXT4 format and perhaps just stick with the defaults in the fstab options.

A possible recommendation, which will mount sda1 at system startup with read-write permissions for you and your group, and read-only permissions for others, might be adding this line to /etc/fstab:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1> /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1> ntfs defaults,auto,nls=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113 0 0

And if you don't have any plans for a shared use of this drive with Windows, you can prefer using EXT4 format and then add this line instead:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1> /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1> ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2

Note: You can get the UUID and Label of SDA1 using GParted.
