Mount a new HDD somewhere in the file system ”permanently”

We just bought a new HDD for my wife's desktop machine, since the
existing one seems a bit too small. She work with a lot of images in
RAW format…

Ubuntu 10.04 is installed on the old HDD and we are not going to
change that for quite a while. Our thought is to keep the old HDD with
Ubuntu 10.04 and let the new one appear as her Images folder somewhere
in her file system, because that's the folder that will really be
really.

What do we need to obtain this permanently?
We did not decide the exact structure yet, but let's say that we want
to mount the new HDD as /home/UserName/Something/SomethingElse/Images.
/home is already a partition of its own at the old HDD.

I guess there need to be some work done in fstab somehow, right? Is
there some kind of software out there that let us do this graphically
or is the terminal the way to go?

Thanks in advance!



Kind regards
