You need to add an entry to /etc/fstab
(see eg. man fstab or something more readable ... ).
So the additional line should look like

/dev/sda7     /media/photos   ext3    noauto,rw,user,exec 0 0

/media/photos would be the mount point which you need to create
(if it does not exist). I.e.
  mkdir /media/photos
as root
