Re: Mounting Drive

I would guess that the drive is not being mounted. Post the contents of /etc/fstab.

Re: Mounting Drive

I think it's the NTFS thing.

Install the package ntfs-3g.

Then, go into System Settings>User Management, then choose "Admin" mode, then highlight your user, and click "Modify", and add the "Fuse" group to the user. (This is kind of "reverse Polish" logic -- you're really adding the user to the group .... ).

Finally, edit /etc/fstab and make the filesystem type "ntfs-3g" for that partition.

Reboot your system, and MAYBE you'll be able to read & write to that partition.
