I tried mounting a hard disk partition, and now it prompts me every time

So, once again, I performed an innocent-looking action in Linux, and not I can't put it back the way it was before.
The other day, I was trying to find something in the file system. (Usually, I use Dolphin, but this guide said I could find it more easily in Nautilus/Files in gnome.) While inside the "Files" app, I clicked on "Other Locations", and one of my hard disks was listed there. After clicking on it, I was prompted to mount that partition. I did not want to mount it, as it is one of the boot partitions, and was already mounted.
But now, each time I restart the computer, the same prompt pops up on login.
I have mounted it, and unmounted it. Everything is fine, it just mounts the already exisiting "/boot" partition to "/media/$USERNAME" which is silly and unnecessary.
I have:
* looked through Autostart
* looked through my list of devices
* modified "/etc/fstab" and added this particular UUID with the "noauto" option
Nothing seems to change, either good or bad.
**How can I find this location and get rid of the prompt on each login?**
*(The removable devices panel was interesting, as it had this trouble partition all by itself under "Attached Devices", but I cannot seem to make any changes here, or mark it to NOT be automatically mounted.)*
