i've lost the ability to acess my windows/c partition while using KDE,(Can't even use it in su file manager) however i can still access it from a shell as su) Whats going on?, how did i break it? It says it's mounted but says the file dosn't exist(windows/c)

one mourning i went to get a file from /windows/c(dev/hda1) and it was not there(in konquorer)howerer in command line the /windows/c directory was present,and useable. the dirve is mounted as dev/hda1...
in KDE (kdiskfree)however it dose not show as mounted, and when i try to mount it i get the message:

Code:

Called&#58; mount /dev/hda1
mount&#58; /dev/hda1 already mounted or /windows/C busy
mount&#58; according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /windows/C

I am just lost.... i'm thinking a permissions thing ie: could i of hidden it somehow?

In konquorer the /windows directory is empty...no /c
