Idea:

I had a wee play with Bodhi Linux the other day and I was impressed by it recognising and mounting every partition the local system had, including a Windows and a iOSX partition.

So I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if Linux Mint could do this as well.

I think we are onto something here. Like the idea of dialogue box LexMK.

@Mintification or it could be a dialogue with the "Don't ask me again" tick.

Automatically popping up with a dialogue asking you which partitions to mount is a _great_ idea, but not automatically mounting them for you. What if I didn't want them mounted?

sounds good, but questionable on security grounds. or better have ntfs-config tool and similar tool for mac, installed by default.

Another option would be to ask on first start after fresh install to auto mount not native to Linux.

I will have to check Bodhi, but I think E17 only displays drive icons and not load them. Keep a sing in NTFS partition, add it to clementine or any music player, reboot and then check if it plays that track or skips it.
As far as I know Jeff, he is not adding anything that is not neseccasry to function the distro itself. We had a dicussion to add startup sound and he stated the above.
