I made all the settings of fstab o there defualt as they at the time of installation and added 3g as u said.

Now when i gave the command

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

it said

Code:

Failed to access '/dev/hda1': No such file or directory

And when i gave this command

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0000

Code:

fusermount: mountpoint is not empty
fusermount: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
FUSE mount point creation error: No such file or directory
Unmounting /dev/hdb1 ()

Wat can be the problem??

create a new mount_point (folder) and mount hdb1 again.

Code:

mkdir /media/win_c
mount /dev/hdb1 /media/win_c -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0 0 0

check /media/win_c folder.

Created the directory.
When i executed the command it said

Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .

ALso there's nothing in Win_c folder.

i think you are not executing correct command. there must be some typing mistakes.

Code:

mount /dev/hdb1 /media/win_c -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0

copy it as it is and execute. check /media/win_c folder again.

Are you sure it shouldn't be?

Code:

mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0 /dev/hdb1 /media/win_c

Maybe it doesn't matter where the options are located.
