Solved Mounting a drive in my home directory at boot

So I installed Ubuntu 17.10 on a Lenovo 15IYB and got a new shiny SSD already setup to increase my user storage.
as of right now I am also dual booting (i really wish I would not have to) so I split the new drive to contain the swap, the exchange partition, and my personal data partition... at this point, all is fine and dandy.
the exchange drive is ok I don't have any problem with it.
the problem is I cannot mount my personal drive to have write access by any means ... like even on root (using sudo on a file-browser cannot write any data or even mount it)
Manual mounting is not working. I tried for a few hours, not this solution https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/170641/how-can-i-mount-a-drive-under-my-home-directory-at-boot
all I could do is mount the drive in or.... pretty useless in my case since even root has it on to
at this point, I am just clueless. I want the drive to be in my home partition but I don't care if it is using a symlink at this point. I just want to be able to write data to the drive at this point...
the file system is ext4, I need to be able to execute files from there.
also, my new swap is not doing anything unlike with the old drive I had ... must be something wrong there too.
for information here is the current fstab I have
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb3 during installation
UUID=ac67a85e-0a13-495c-8c9e-db340f7dc45b / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
#UUID=86cee994-0846-40e3-9eac-105f17b3bc25 none swap sw 0 0
#New swap on crucial
UUID=ae53f536-5bed-4e22-a220-7c685a5f597c none swap sw 0 0
# Exchange Partition (acessible thru windows)
UUID=27DEEA4B402D1DB0 /media/Exchange ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8,rw 0 0

UUID=210010cc-4768-415e-94aa-3aafbc325ff2 /home/spark/Personal ext4 rw,noauto,user,sync,exec 0 2
any idea on what I am doing wrong?

was the drive properly dismounted in windows? Note: windows fast start is a hibernation. Hibernated drives will mount read only to prevent file corruption.

the drive was not touched by windows .... mounting the drive in /media/personal result in the drive being in readonly... trying to open the drive from a filebroser result in an error saying I do not have the permission to perform the action.... same if I go into root
