post the output of "sudo fdisk -l"

[nece228]

usage: fdisk [-1] [-bssz] [-u] device
e.g. fdisk /dev/hda (for the first ide disk)
or fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third scsi disk)
or fdisk /dev/eda (for the first ps/2 esdi drive)
or fdisk /dev/ida/ c0d0 (for raid devices)

fdisk -l

this is a small L. post output again it should look like

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 14793 118824741 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 18746 19457 5719140 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 14794 18745 31744440 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)

soorry you need bit wait about fdisk, but when i start partition magic pro server, then his write an error about hdd : #106
how can i fix this problem?

it works now when i change preferences in disk & filesystems and reads fat32 partition, but ntfs partition with windows not reads. it says: you dont have enough permisions to look at this partition. what will i need to do?

execute this

sudo mkdir /media/ntfs
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/<partition> /media/ntfs -o defaults,umask=0

check /media/ntfs folder.

Ubuntu supports NTFS read access only. install ntfs-3g package to enable write access.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

replace ntfs with ntfs-3g in mount command.

thanks! you amazing! it really helps to me

glad to help you !

you can add an entry in /etc/fstab file to auto-mount partition at boot up, you wont have to mount partitions manually after that.

kdesu kate /etc/fstab

add this code for each partition

/dev/<partition>  <mount_point>  <filesystem> defaults,umask=0 0 0

let say, partition /dev/sda1, mount_point -- /media/ntfs and filesystem -- NTFS

/dev/sda1  /media/ntfs  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=0 0 0

for FAT32 partition, replace ntfs-3g with vfat.
save file and reboot.
