    2nd Hard Drive locked

    I recently switched from Win XP to Ubuntu Breezy, then Dapper. I need to get some files off of a ntfs partitioned hard drive.
    I first confirmed the windows drive was located at hdb1
    I created /mnt/win
    then mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win

    When I go to access the drive, it is locked. I have tried googling and searching these forums, but found no mention of this specific problem.

    Phill

    hi pawonfire !!

    locked means... you dont have previlages to access this partition....
    try as a root....

    I need to correct my first post. I used:
    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win

    Then I try to access it with cd /mnt/win.

    I tried sudo cd /mnt/win, with no sucess
