suggest using templates instead. post #6
ntfs:
uuid=da9056c19056a3b3 /media/wind ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,windows_names 0 0
window_names prevents use of invalid windows characters:
(which 9 characters ” * / : < > ? \ | , code less 0×20)
uid=1000 should fix trash problems well:

ext4:
uuid=076426af-cbc5-4966-8cd4-af0f5c879646 /media/data ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
** find correct uuid partitions:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list
** have create mount point yourself, example:
sudo mkdir /media/wind
and/or
sudo mkdir /media/data
** add template correct uuid , mount point fstab:
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
** , when done editing fstab , saving run following command test errors , mount partitions without requiring reboot. know before reboot if amiss. :
sudo mount -a
