This is completely useless and false. No combination of copying the commands will allow me to read the ntfs partition.

I think there may be a problem with your comments subscription. I got notified about new comments on this post, which I had never even read before. I am subscribed only to receive notification for the latest 3 column k2 wordpress theme thread. Then when I used the link in the notification email to go and manage my subscriptions, I got a 404. Oops!

The process itself goes witout problems, but can we see the files that are in the windows partition, because I would like to acess all my music files in a windows partition, and it would be nearly impossible to put them all in dvd`s and migrate them to a linux partition type, how can I acess these files and or would a different tipe of partition like fat32 be read by linux cause I could try to install win 98 and them put those files in a linux partition later on. Thans for any help!

/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0

add the above line as the last line in /etc/fstab

and see if that cleans it all up.

I’d help if you can paste the ‘mounting error log’

It works perfectly except for whem I reboot. During the loading screen /media/windows fails to mount and reverts back to the /media/hda1 mount. If you can, please help.

Well, your document is quite clear. The only thing is that when I type#mkdir /media/windows/,
I get the answer : cannot create : the file already exists!
