    Windows Partition



    Hi all,

    I have installed debian on my laptop, but unfortunately I am not able to access the windows partion.

    When I try to access that partition I get:

    libhal-storage.c 1401 : info: called libhal_free_dbus_error but dbuserror was not set.

    process 4193: applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. this is a bug in the application.

    error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable

    error: could not execute pmount

    How can I fix that?

    Many thanks in advance for any help!

    And

    Hi and Welcome !

    Execute this
    Code:
    su
fdisk -l
    Post output here. Post the contents of /etc/fstab file too.
    Code:
    cat /etc/fstab
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Cool

    Hey,
    You have NTFS partition on windows for that you need to download and install ntfs-3g software. Try googling on net you will find it.
    Regards,

    who |grep -i blonde |
    date; cd~; unzip; touch;
    strip; finger; mount; gasp;
    yes; uptime; umount;
    sleep

    Execute this
    Code:
    su 
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o defaults,umask=0
    Check /mnt/windows folder.
    If mount command throws any error, post exact error message here.

    If everything works fine, add an entry of /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab file to automount it at boot up.
    Code:
    su
nano /etc/fstab
    Add this code at the end of file
    Code:
    /dev/hda1  /mnt/windows  ntfs  defaults,umask=0 0 0
    Save file ( Press Ctrl+X, y and hit Enter key ).

    Debian supports NTFS read access only. Install ntfs-3g package to enable NTFS write access. Check here for instructions.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    EDIT:
    casper was faster than me

    your windows partition isn't appear in your fstab

    as root
    mkdir /media/win
    mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/win

    if it work add your /etc/fstab
    open fstab with your favorit editor and add this line
    Code:
    /dev/hda1 /media/win ntfs ro,users,umask=222 0 0
