mounting windows xp partition

[agus_ramos]

Hi everybody, i have Kubuntu 7.04 and i was running it whit Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic. Since the security updates it installed the Kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, when i reboot the machine, it ask me to config a couple of things. When i started the system, i wasn´t abble to mount my windows partition. I don´t know how to fix it. When i put in the console:

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
mount: you must specify the file system

Also the same error whit this command
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

My fstab file is this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda6
UUID=63844e60-8861-4f2d-8222-1ee9ded7e594 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hda1

# /dev/hda5

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

Another problem that i have is install my ati radeon 9200 driver.
I've downloaded it from ati.com, the automatic installer, the error is this:

agustin@agustin-kubuntu:~$ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.28.8...

-e ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager

./ati-installer.sh: 165: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
agustin@agustin-kubuntu:~$

Whit sudo or whitout it, i have the same error.

Thanks!!

Re: mounting windows xp partition

For your NTFS drive, you may be interested in ntfs-3g (search with Adept).

For your ATI driver problems, you may be interested in my fglrx installation script, or, alternatively, post lines 160 to, say, 175 of the installer script.

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

Hmmm ... did you try to mount it as specified in "fstab" as well?

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1

Re: mounting windows xp partition

The destination folder is not a problem, i can do mount /dev/hda1 /everywhere

The fstab has this line to automaticaly mount the drive in that folder.

Well i wish that someone know how to fix it.

Thanks

Re: mounting windows xp partition

When I updated from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn I couldn't access any partitions except the one Kubuntu was installed in. Using QTParted I discovered that hda# had been changed to sda#. I was able to see my Windows partitions again once I changed h to s in /etc/fstab .
