[SOLVED] Can not write to NTFS

[dale456654]

I just installed ubuntu and updates but I cant write to any of my NTFS drives. If I go into the live CD it is okay. I tried pysdm but it wont let me untick the mount as read-only option.

Execute this

sudo mkdir /media/ntfs
sudo umount /dev/<ntfs-partition>
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/<ntfs-partition>  /media/ntfs -o defaults,umask=0

Replace <ntfs-partition> with actual device name assigned to NTFS partition. Check /media/ntfs folder after executing mount command.

In case it doesn't work, post the output of these :

sudo fdisk -l
df -h

Thanks for the quick reply!

twinkle@Ubuntu:~# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/ntfs -o defaults,unmask=0
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'

I checked in synaptic and it wasn't installed...

It must of got removed in the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?

I installed it and now its working fine

Thanks!
