Hello!
I just installed LMDE 2 Cinnamon 64 bit.
Nice thing this new system. I like it.
Can anyone tell me how to mount HDD without it asking password? Once I click the HDD in file manager it lasks for my password? I want to access my HHD right away.
Thank you!

Re: HDD access asks for password, why?
You can make the disk ("partition(s)", actually) mount at boot by adding a line to the file /etc/fstab
To get the info to do that, run these with HDD connected, and post the output here inside "Code" tags:

In the spirit of teaching on to fish ....
The ArchWiki for fstab is a very good resource to get you started. Read through it, make your updates to your /etc/fstab file and you're off and running.

Create a mount point.
Make sure you have ownership of the mount point.
Add the 191 GB partition to your fstab.
Detail on the process are in this tutorial:
