    It's a permission problem....easy to correct....a gui program to set your fstab is ntfs-config.....see if it's in the repo, install it...., then launch it with:

    sudo ntfs-config

    and tell it what you want to automount at boot including external drives.

    Otherwise, you can manually edit your /etc/fstab or list the file contents here and we can tell you what to change.
