Hey everyone,
I’m new to Fedora and I’m trying to set up my system so that the default libraries are located on my HDD (since my OS is on an SSD). I’ve adjusted the settings as recommended, but every time I restart, I get an error saying that the folder doesn’t exist.
Could someone help me out with the steps I need to follow to fix this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You posted in english but all the images are in your native language so many (including I) cannot read them.
I would switch the post to the “ask-in-other-languages” category but do not know what language to use. Please let us know so you may be assisted in the best way possible.
That appears to be Portuguese 
@f2paul the error message in the 2nd screenshot refers to a different location (/run/media) than the ones in your 1st screenshot. That suggests the drive is automounted by KDE in that location. Is this an external HDD you are referring to?
Hi,
I apologize for the screenshots being in Portuguese. Regarding the HDD, it’s an internal drive—I’m using two disks: a 256GB SSD and a 2TB HDD.
I’m trying to associate the Desktop, Documents, Music, and Videos folders in Fedora with the existing directories on my HDD. I did this through the settings menu in KDE Plasma, and it works fine initially. However, when I restart my PC, I get error messages, and the associations don’t seem to persist.
If you could provide any guidance, I’d really appreciate it. I can also provide screenshots in English if that helps.
You are probably getting this error because your 2TB HDD has NTFS file system which Linux doesn’t mount by default. So, it gives this error message and it is normal. You just have to click on your HDD as shown on the left panel under ‘Devices’ section and you will be asked for the ‘Administrative Password’ which is the password you use (assuming you are the sole user of your PC and you log in with the default account) to log in Fedora and it will be mounted. I have two OS in two separate SSDs, one for Win 10 and another for Fedora, no dual boot and I use F12 key to use ‘Boot Menu’ to choose which one to boot into and I have two 1TB HDD and one 512GB SSD for data. These data drives are all formatted with NTFS file system as I was using Windows as my only OS before coming to Fedora. Now, whenever I boot into Fedora and open ‘Dolphin’ the file manager, it gives me this error. I click on one drive, Fedora asks for the Admin password, I put it and click ‘OK’ and then I click on every other unmounted drives and they mount automatically, no question asked. 
I haven’t setup auto-mount drives as I am very new to Fedora and don’t know whether it will give any problem when I will boot in Windows and access the drives. So, I choose this methos to be safe and it is working perfectly well. I think this will do the same for you and if you have Fedora as your single OS and want to auto-mount the drive, there are solutions in this 'Ask Fedora forum. You can check this link: How to make a drive mount on boot? or ask for guidance as I am also very new and cannot guide you on that matter. Hope, through my answer, your primary confusion will be solved. 
The drive will mount at boot if there is a proper entry in /etc/fstab for that device.
You can easily mount it that way with a few simple options in the entry so it is accessible for your user.
The one thing that must be done every time is make certain all files are closed on those devices before shutting down to reboot into windows. Also windows must not be allowed to use the ‘fast boot’ option since that would leave all ntfs drives marked as “dirty” and fedora could only mount them as read only.
Thank you for this information. I forgot to mention it in my reply above.
Perhaps it’s best to phrase this as follows:
Fast Boot (the BIOS setting) should be safe to leave on, if you can currently access EFI/BIOS firmware settings with it on.
Fast Startup (the Windows setting) should be disabled if you want to mount your Windows NTFS filesystems in Linux.
The two terms sound similar and are often used interchangeably but they refer to different things, so using the precise names may help to avoid confusion.
Just love your explanation. This is exactly to be followed.
