Take owenership of hard drive in Linux (Ubuntu) Automount

Hi, I have machine with a solid state drive which is too small to hold my media library.  I added a spinning drive where I'm planning to put my music and other files.  However when I try to access the drive, I get the following error:

You are not privileged to mount the volume 'Data'.

I followed this guide to mount the drive and it worked.  The problem is that I have to do it every time I start the computer.

How do I mount the drive automatically every time at start up?

I edited the fstab file as the link suggested.  I had no luck.  I don't know if I was doing it wrong, but I followed the directions and it would not automount at start up.  However I was able to automount the file using disk-manager.  It was pretty easy.  Thanks to all for the help.
I meant to automount the disk not the file in my comment above.  Also disk-manager is in the repos for anybody having the same problem.
