My 80 GB harddisk is separated into 4 partitions (shouldave been 3), with Kubuntu as one, WinXP as another and the two others are data. I got a bit annoyed that I had to open Dolphin to be able to mount one of the data partitions (which is where most of the data is placed) to work on it. I tweaked the settings to allow auto mounting at startup, but then when I open Dolphin up, it says that it will open only with HAL (HAL is sleeping? lol). So I can't run it easily. I also changed permissions for accessing the partition. I was able to partially solve the problem by just manually unmounting and remounting. But I wonder if there's a more permanent solution to keep the partition loading flawlessly without much tweak-ums. Thanks.

Re: HD partition loses accessibliity
I forgot to say something important... when I start up with that data partition (known as hda5 on my box) automatically, it opens the data files (like MS Word docs on OpenOffice) as read-only! But when I mount and remount the partition, it becomes accessible again. Why does this happen? Thanks. -
Re: HD partition accessibliity problem
Just bumping up to see if anyone can provide an explanation. My second post above is the real problem. Upon opening a Word file after boot, it's just read-only. I have to manually remount the partition to remove the read-only condition. But general access to the 30 GB FAT partition is OK. This is one of four partitions on the 80 GB HD, one 28GB Windows, this 30GB Fat, and two 10GB partitions (one is Kubuntu; became that way because of difficulties getting a big partition). Thanks.Comment
