I followed all of your instructions to the letter but my windows partition (c:\ drive) will not mount to the ubuntu desktop/file system. I can access the media directory but cannot write to it. I am using Ubuntu 8.x if that helps

Hey yo!

Don’t be overcomplicated with asking them to reboot! why would you reboot when a simple sudo mount -a will auto mount based on the modified /etc/fstab ?

Most of the peopled do prefer not rebooting.

You do realize this was written in 2006… can you provide a little more information about your OS and versions?

And seriously dude… 2006… do you run a site, and if so- do you go WAY back and change everything that other programmers and developers could have made obsolete over time? Doubtful… especially if you were non-profit.

I’d love to see if someone can assist you, I just need more to go by.

WTF? I followed the instructions before reading all of the comments, and now my partition is totally screwed up. Why have these instructions remained up here and not corrected? F’ing Ars!!

My problem is as so…………

I hibernated Windows one day,went to boot up again and it was stuck on the resuming windows screen and nothing happens.

So i tried to use this ntfs-3g thing to access my windows files but the problem i had was that when i typed ‘cat /etc/fstab’ i got:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda2
UUID=91fc783f-fcb0-49b5-8343-2dd91efe2776 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hda3
UUID=108ee812-15e1-4ead-aff0-d099b117f766 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

It doesnt show my windows partition ……

Im so lost i duno what to do??????

Hello. This is working well… except when I try to create a link from my /home/mq directory to /media/windows/Documents\ and\ Settings/mq/My\ Documents – it complains that it is an ‘invalid cross-device link’. Surely there is a way around this?

Thanks.

Works like a charm for me! Thank you- this makes my life exponentially easier.
Thanks!!!

One question I do have though is:
When I copy files from Ubuntu to Windows that have Chinese characters in the file name, I get a “generic error.” Would you know of a work around for this?

I followed your instructions and can now see and access a second Windows partition. However, files still open in “read only” mode, and I can’t find a way of changing the permissions.

Hey Richard,

It sounds like you didn’t enable the extra repositories needed to download NTFS-3g.

Check out the first link in the post, there are instructions there on how to do it, or simply google for Ubuntu extra repositories.

Richard — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 14:59:45 +0000

Hello,

I love to be able to do this but I can’t even download ntfs-3g!

It says:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
E: Couldn’t find package ntfs-3g
