    Trying to see harddrives with kubuntu running from CD

    I just got a copy of Kubuntu and am running it from the CD. I downloaded the iso and put it on a CD using an XP machine. I am using it on a Dell xps T450 from the CD player. When I try to open one of the hard drives to see the directory and pick a file, I get the message that the drive could not be mounted.
    The error report says
    could not mount device
    mount can't find /dev/hdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

    must I install Kubuntu on the machine to get it to work?

    No, but since you're running from a live CD you will have to rewrite your /etc/fstab file every time you try to use Kubuntu.

      Go to KMenu > System > Konsole and type
      Code:
      sudo mkdir /windows
      sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
      This assumes, of course that your Windows partition is NTFS and on /dev/hda1. To find out if it is, type
      Code:
      sudo fdisk -l
      That's a lower-case L, not the number one.
