I just installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 onto a drive with existing partitions. I want to make a link/shortcut to one of my games installed on one of the partitions (/media/emily/ Gaming). After making a link of the .jar file (FTB.jar) and moving that link to desktop it works. But after restart it says the link is broken and asks me to trash it.
The drive currently says it's mounted. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
I'm very new to linux, so a detailed description of what might be happening and suggestions to fix it would be appreciated.
After restart:
$ lsblk

After making a link from the gaming partition:
