How to mount internal NTFS partition on boot

Method 1
It is possible to automatically mount disks at boot. There may be other ways to do this, but one way to do it is:
1) Write the commands for creating a folder and mounting the disk in a text file which will be a bash script file. 
#!/system/bin/sh

mkdir /mnt/folder_name mount.ntfs /dev/block/partition_name /mnt/folder_name
Here 'partition_name' could be any of the disk you want to mount like for example sda1 devb1 etc. and 'folder_name' is the folder where you want to mount the disk.
2) Place the script file under /system/etc/init.d. You can name the file anything you want, but it should not have any extension i.e. .txt or any other extension must be removed.
3) Reboot and enjoy ! Use a file manager like Mixplorer which can bookmark the mounted locations for easy access. The disks should now be mounted automatically at every boot.
Method 2
