Hi,

I am playing around with Ubuntu Linux 5.04 booting from CD.

How do I mount a NTFS (Win XP) partition on the local C drive?

Thanks

What happens when you do this:

mount -t ntfs -o,ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/mntDir

When I try from the root terminal I get the error:

mount: mount point /mnt/mntDir does not exist


(also is there a graphical way to do it)

Thanks

You have to create the mount point first or use an existing one.

So I tried:

mkdir /mnt/mntDir
mount -t ntfs -o,ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/mntDir

No Error, but when I go to the mnt/mntDir folder it has a red "X" on it and
opens up empty.

Thanks

Maybe something to do with running off a live cd and that's where my
expertise ends. Try a google on it as I'm sure there are others who have
run into problems mounting an existing volume while running off a live
cd if you have. Good luck.

An old version of the live cd! Get the latest, sure it works off that.

OK will try. Thanks

My Debian system running Gnome 2.14 has a "Disks-Admin" utility under
Debian>Apps>System.

If you can't find it there, you could try
disks-admin & from a terminal logged in as a superuser:

shell prompt$: su
password: whatever yours is
shell prompt#: disks-admin &

After that there's a partition tab where you can set your mount points.
NTFS is going to be "read-only". If you want a convenient way to share
files then build a FAT 32 partition. You can read and write to it from
both OS's.

Damn you all. Why does noone ever trim the junk and please
STOP TOP POSTING. It hurts to read backwards, really.

Mounting ntfs is a root thing, and you can only access the mounted drive as
root afterwards, therefore the lock or cross. Start the file manager in
superuser mode and point it at your mountpoint.
You know, ntfs is read-only in linux by default?
