Ubuntu tricks – how to mount your Windows partition and make it read/writable

Mon, Sep 25, 2006

ArsGeek, Linux, Ubuntu, Windows

Talk about it in our Forums

While this guide is still valid, see here for a newer and more stable way to gain access to NTFS.

If you’re like me, then you’ve got a dual boot machine running both Windows and Ubuntu. heck, even if you’re not like me it’s entirely possible that you’ll have a dual boot machine. I’ll even allow for a triple boot machine if you like.

Here’s a guide to making the most of your NTFS partition while in Ubuntu. When you’re done you should be able to have your NTFS partition mounted at boot, be able to write to it and read from it and be able to lift three times your body weight without breaking a sweat.

It should be noted that writing to NTFS is still experimental. You’d best have a backup of your machine if you’re going to do this.

First let’s figure out where our NTFS partition is hiding. I’m going to assume that you’ve got an NTFS partition, an EXT3 partition and perhaps a FAT32 partition laying about. Open up a terminal session and type the following:

sudo fdisk -l

You’re looking for the NTFS partition, my output looks like this:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20480008+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 2550 7493 39707451+ f W95 Ext’d (LBA)
/dev/sda3 7494 9729 17960670 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 2550 7394 38911288+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/sda6 7395 7493 795186 82 Linux swap / Solaris

It’s /dev/sda1 that I’m interested in. Find out what yours is and write it down somewhere. A good thing to do is to write it backwards on your forehead in indellible marker. This not only allows you to see where it is every time you look in the mirror but I’ll also be able to identify my readers if you venture out into public.

So let’s install the stuff we’ll need to get this working.

sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils libntfs8 ntfsprogs

Now let’s add fuse to the list of stuff that our kernel will load:

echo fuse | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Now let’s add a group which we’ll use to control who can or can’t get access to the NTFS partition.

sudo addgroup ntfs

When this is done, you’ll get some output which will contain your GID (Group ID). It’ll look something like adding group ntfs (1001). Write down that GID, or add it to your backwards forehead list.

Now we’re going to create a mount point for our partition. This is a folder into which this disk will be shoved. Well, metaphorically speaking anyway. We’ll put it in the /media directory so it’ll show up on our desktop. then we’ll edit the fstab file to tell it to mount the NTFS partition on to the folder.

sudo mkdir /media/windows

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Now that you’ve got the fstab file backed up and open in gedit, let’s add the following line to the bottom of it.

/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,umask=0002 0 0

Here’s where you’ll need a mirror to look at the info you’ve written backwards on your forehead. The first bit ‘/dev/hda1′ is the location of your NTFS partition. If you’re is different, then change it in your fstab entry above. The second bit we’ll need is the GID of your ntfs group. If it’s not 1002 then change that as well.

Now, let’s add your user to the ntfs group. If you’re username is ‘slartibartfast‘ this is how the command would look. (If you’re username is not ‘slartibartfast, then type your username in place of slartibartfast, or consider changing it to slartibartfast’).

sudo adduser slartibartfast ntfs

Now let’s do some quick removing and linking to fix a known bug.

sudo rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse && sudo ln /usr/bin/ntfsmount /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse

Now reboot your machine and you’ll come back up to the joy of being able to muck with your windows install while not actually booting into windows.

Certifications like 70-294 as well as 70-528 have never been easy. Just the fact they are in the same series as 70-620 and 70-272 does not mean that they follow the same preparation outlines. Like 70-292, they all follow a fairly simple model, but that is where the similarities end. However after studying for 642-176, one might as well attempt a 640-822 since they both have almost the same material.

    Slartibartfast? What kind of name is THAT? I mean, unless you’re a planetary designer working on the largest computer ever known as designed by mice, that’s just a stupid name. Just stupid.

    Okay, seriously, I will give this a shot, but I can’t see any reason why this wouldn’t work. Nice hack on the known bug, BTW.

    Thanks,

    Zaphod.

    Hey Zaphod,

    It works for me, and my mice. The dolphins are having a bit of trouble though… probably the lack of hands.

  3. Michael Says:

    When I try to install the fuse-utils package it states it’s not available, but is referred to by another package.

    What do I do know (being a Linux newbie)?

  4. arsgeek Says:

    Hi Michael,

    What version of Ubuntu are you running? 6.06?

  5. furrball Says:

    why not just go to sys. settings disk and filesystem click on admin mode click on windows partition then new then in type choose ntfs then chech box to start at boot read and write then in files belong to user scroll through till you see your log name.do the same in the files belong to group then use divice owner may enable/disable then click ok . then reboot you should see it on desktop

  6. Kirk Says:

    it doesnt work…

    mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs-fuse’

    :(

  7. Matt Says:

    First of all, I am 100% new to Linux/Ubuntu. I’m really, really looking forward to canning XP, but for now, need to share files and programs from the XP side of the computer.

    I didn’t have any luck with this excercise. I’m going to paste what happened – please let me know if this is against etiquette. If anyone wants to email me to help me with this rather than post it here, I’d be extremely grateful. I anticipate this will take many “screw ups” on my part.

    Here’s what happened, and again, apologies in advance if it’s not cool to post this:

    mmm. I’m ruinning kubuntu and am trying to mount and write to an NTFS usb drive and it keeps not working.

    I get:
    “Could not mount device.
    The reported error was:
    mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/windows”

    Boo.

    Any thoughts?

  9. arsgeek Says:

    Hey Matt and Kevin – Here’s what I ‘m seeing from a quick look at your posts.

    Matt, /dev/hda1 is your NTFS partition. When you try and install the various packages using apt-get it’s throwing an error saying that dpkg is already in use. Did you have Synaptic open? Or were you updating or downloading something else?

    Kevin, as the error says, only the root user can mount a partition. Try runing the command as sudo – i.e. ‘sudo mount blah blah blah’

    good luck, let me know if this resolves your issues!

  10. Matt Says:

    Thanks for the response, Arsgeek! I’m very excited and grateful that you responded.

    Well, truth to be told (and this little tidbit will reveal just how little I actually know) I’m not even sure what Synaptic is – how can I determine if it is open? And what specifically is “dpkg”? Again, if it is easier and won’t clutter up this forum, feel free to email me instead.

    Thanks – looking forward to figuring this out! Should be awesome!

  11. arsgeek Says:

    Hey Matt,

    No problem! Let’s keep it here and perhaps others can benefit as well.

    Synpatic is the graphical package manager (i.e. program installer) that Ubuntu uses. It can be launched either by typing ‘sudo synaptic’ in a terminal, or going to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager.

    dpkg is the back-end that things like Synaptic and apt-get use to actually manage the install/removal/upgrade of various programs. That error looks to me like something already has dpkg running, so when you try and run apt-get, it’s told that it can’t have access to dpkg.

    If you’re really not sure what’s going on you can try to do this in a terminal:

    ps -ef | grep apt or
    ps -ef | grep dpkg

    If you find that a process is running (ps looks for running programs) then you know somethings got it going.

    The easiest way to kill this for a new user is to either do a ‘kill -9 (process ID)’ or simply reboot.

    Let me know how it goes – although I’m going away for a long weekend so I may not be around to help more until Monday.

  12. Matt Says:

    You’re too kind, ArsGeek! You were right – as I recall, I was running some software updates. BUT. . . I still don’t have this working. I’m sure it is my syntax – maybe there is a good primer on this somewhere?

    I’m going to email you if that’s okay to prevent my further newb embarassment.

  14. Goluxas Says:

    I tried this and I have the same problem as Michael (Post #8), both that I’m a Linux newbie and that I have the same error. It prints the following after I enter “sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils libntfs8 ntfsprogs” :

    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree… Done
    Package fuse-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package fuse-utils has no installation candidate

    I am using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. If someone could help, I would very much appreciate it.

  15. arsgeek Says:

    Good timing Goluxas. I just emailed another user who’s also having this problem. Here’s what I sent:

    Here’s where I’m thinking you may not have all of the repositories available that you need. See here:
    http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=502

    Not every program is available through the default repositories. You’ll want to modify your sources.list file (as shown in the above article) to enable everything. Then you should be able to download fuse-utils.

    ok, so I did everything on this thread, and it worked beautifully! except, I did something.. I right clicked
    the the icon it put on my desktop and “Unmounted” it.. now when i rebooted, i can’t get to it anymore! How can I get it back?

    this is very difficult for some one who has never used Linux and is using xp. Y dont some ppl make a program like bootcamp for this… so many xp users wud b able to check this linux thing.

    Hey Strider,

    Can you open up a terminal session, type:

    cat /etc/fstab

    And paste what you get here? I can take a look at it.

  30. Bhavya Says:

    Hi, this didn’t work for me; though it says the ntfs partition is mounted, when I go to /the media/windows directory I can’t see any files.

    Also, how do I unmount the partition?

    i followed the steps and got the error:
    used the force option to work a mounted filesystem

  34. arsgeek Says:

    Hi Chrismcollins,

    When you go into /media and do an ls, what do you see?

    Currently my NTFS drive is mounted as /media/sda1.

    Let me know what you see. Also, fee free to post the results of a ‘mount’ command and ‘cat /etc/fstab’.

  35. prince_kael Says:

    I am having the same problem. I know what is causing it, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Ubuntu is automatically mounting my NTFS permissions into /tmp/some_directory (you can see it if you go to the gui disk manager). I’m just not sure how to get it to stop doing this. Any help would be appreciated :)

  36. prince_kael Says:

    NTFS partitions, not permissions.

    Just tried this and I am getting the same problems as the others above, where you browse into the directory in media and there is nothing there, it also appears to be unwriteable as you cannot create anything in there either. The disk manager shows it as not having a mount point and not enabled and when you try to create mount point and enable it that way I get an error with Fuse-utils. This is one a USB removable HDD on Fiesty.
    Any ideas?

  45. Mike Says:

    Does not work;

    Tutorial needs work, its not clear:

    -Tutorial does not say what version of Ubuntu this was tested on.
    -Example of fstab entries does not correspond to early example of fdisk output…if it does I do not know how “sda1″ should now be “hda1″

    to the people trying to mount NTFS:
    try this if you want but dont waste anytime trying to figure out what you did wrong.

  47. Andrew Says:

    umm, i know this sounds retarded buuut… i just set up ubuntu in this room, but the ethernet cable from my wireless router wont reach the room… i am aware that i have a wireless router, but i dont have a wireless adapter in the computer and i don’t want to get one and spend forever getting it to work with ubuntu (p.s. i’m a newbie) anywho!… i’d rather wait until i get a long ethernet cable, BUT!… i don’t even want to wait until i get an ethernet cable… so i’m basically asking if i can do all of this without internet connected?

  48. arsgeek Says:

    Hi Andrew,

    Sure, it’s possible. What you’d have to do is download the necessary programs as .debs (libfuse2 fuse-utils libntfs8 ntfsprogs) which a quick google search should be able to find for you.

    Pop those onto a thumb drive or a cd and then install them on your not-connected ubuntu machine. Then continue on with the steps.

    Also note, if you’re installing 7.10 you may not need to do this at all. The newest Ubuntu does a pretty good job of support NTFS.

  49. Guy Newman Says:

    This is ALMOST the go, but thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. What should be mentioned is that Ubuntu mounts the windows drive as “disk” naturally (I’m not sure where or why yet), but only AFTER you press on the “disk” button or icon. Then and only then can your self and programs etc use that disk.

    Therefore what most people want to see in their /etc/fstab file is. . .

    /dev/sda1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

    This will mount it every time (pending ” sda1 “) so that all programs can access it without hickups, and any c:/ related bookmarks will show straight away from boot. ie, I have redirected my “pictures”, “video” etc @ “Places” to the equivalent files in my windows drive – ” /media/disk/Documents and Settings/Guy/My Documents/My Pictures “, saving me lots of headaches and leaving my ubuntu drive free of clutter.

  50. Gaby Says:

    i-v tried this tutorial but it do not work’s
    it said “Cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume ‘Disk’” ‘disk’ being the name of the partition

    In the recent version of Ubuntu you don’t need tricks like that due to the fact that it is mounting all partitions by default and makes them readable.

    Well, truth to be told (and this little tidbit will reveal just how little I actually know) I’m not even sure what Synaptic is – how can I determine if it is open? And what specifically is “dpkg”? Again, if it is easier and won’t clutter up this forum, feel free to email me instead.

    Thanks – looking forward to figuring this out! Should be awesome!

  72. shipping a car Says:

    I am having the same problem. I know what is causing it, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Ubuntu is automatically mounting my NTFS permissions into /tmp/some_directory (you can see it if you go to the gui disk manager). I’m just not sure how to get it to stop doing this. Any help would be appreciated

    Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
