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
You can force mount the NTFS drive, when Windows wasn't shut down cleanly. # mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/device-name /mount/point should do it, for you. [Note: You need root privileges to run this command] [I have no experience with the tool you mentioned]
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..
Did you try that with root privileges?
