I have finally had the chance to test this. Adding the drive following the advice in the manual now leads to the drive being unmounted on boot up. The NTLDR error persists on attempts to restart. If I try to mount the external drive now I get the following error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /home/jonathan/ntfsfiles
mount failed
Before, without modifying the fstab file, the drive would open Thunar after boot, when the drive would suddenly be mounted. But Krusader was not automatically mounting the drive when I ran Krusader, which was what I was hoping. And I had the NTLDR problem when restarting.
Now, after I am quite sure following the add a drive instructions, the drive does not seem to be working properly at all.
