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?
