@Sathya – Well you are right i could have used the sudo as prefix with all the commands to do the same.

As far as the automatic mount is concerned i m using hp tx1000 hp laptop with FUJITSU MHV2120BH PL SCSI Disk, and what ever i do the one of my ntfs drive does not mount when I boot in ubuntu even if I do a clean shutdown in windows so i have to use the force command to access the contents,

This command does not corrupt any data on the windows drive, This command tells Ubuntu to use the ntfs-3g driver, and force mount even if there is a problem.

I m just a newbie linux user not an expert so used the way that worked fine, it does not harm me so shared with others.
