[devils casper]

Open /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add acpi=off at the end of kernel line.
Press Alt+F2 and type this

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

It will open menu.lst file in Gedit with root privileges.

i got that fixed now i want to automaticly mount my ntfs storage drive when i was on fedora you told me a fdisk command but for mint i assume its differnt can you tell me the command so i can give you the output??

[devils casper]

Basic commands are same in all Linux Distros. Execute this

sudo fdisk -l

sudo is for gaining root privileges.

Mint should have already setup mount ... check output of

grep sdb1 /etc/fstab
