Hi,

I have a dual boot machine..running Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04..Having trouble in mounting a 20 GB NTFS partition in Ubuntu 8.04. I have other partitions which are Fat32 partitions and easily mounting. Tried googling the issue and also used NTFS-config tool..It gave me an error saying Windows was not shut down cleanly..and asked me to remove any drives connected..after using ntfs-config i changed the mount point name..it again gave me the same error..and then said i didnt have privileges to mount the partition..please help me with the same..i do not intend to format the partition since i am having a lot of data here..

sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
