Hey, so I need some help.

My XP is acting up (as it is wont to do) so I am switching to using my Ubuntu full time. I have a 100gb partition for Linux, and a 300gb for Windows. I have a lot of files I'd really REALLY like to have, so I need to see my NTFS partition in linux. This is the code from less /etc/fstab:


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda4
UUID=4f13a122-18a2-4ea5-9c22-2895d0f30919 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda2
UUID=bc506ea6-d5ae-4b18-9430-b3d5247f8013 /boot ext3 relatime 0 2
# /dev/sda3
UUID=907b0f29-7980-418d-89b1-b98df660f30d none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Any help?

btw, I did the whole fdisk -l thing... didn't do anything

[Jonathan183]

Establish disk partition structure using

sudo fdisk -l

the -l has a small L rather than a one
assuming ntfs partition you want to mount is sda1 ...

create a folder to mount the partition to

sudo mkdir /media/sda1

mount ntfs partition using

ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1

I already got it though... spent some time surfing the ubuntuforums page. I actually did this:

I realized I had an error that needed ntfsfix, so I got that installed.

then ran it.

then I just used:

sudo mount /dev/sda1

(I already figured out that it was sda1)

the whole fdisk thing... I forgot to sudo

I'm still kinda new to linux


anyway, thanks for the help!
