Mounting Internal Media Requires Authentication! [SOLVED]

[0x00FE]

I was using my computer when for some reason, it crashed while opening one for my partitions (One of Window's partitions).
From that time on, everytime I try to open one of them Storage Media--> sda1
It displays a box

---Authenticate---
System policy prevent mounting internal media.
Authentication is required to perform this action. Please enter your password to verify.

I can enter all other partition including other Windows partition without having to authenticate, but seems that 'sda1' which has previously crashed the system for some unknown reason is not allowed to be mounted without authentication.

Any help on how can I restore the normal condition where I would click to open directly without authentication?

Thanks in advanced.

Re: Mounting Internal Media Requires Authentication!

After more usage, all internal Non-Linux partitions will not mount automatically & would need authentication to be mounted.
This problem was not there in 7.10.
It seems to be 8.04 problem only.

Re: Mounting Internal Media Requires Authentication!

Are you setting up the non-Linux partitions to be auto-mounted in etc/fstab? I would think doing that would overcome the "authentication" issue.

Alternatively, if you run Konqueror as Super User, you can right-click the partition, choose "properties" and then click the "permissions" tab and set yourself as both the owner and the group. That should make the authentication problem go away for you (but no one else).

HTH.

Hey dibl,

Hi, sorry for the very late reply,

Had exams that time & then forgot the issue,

I've tried mounting them up as you mentioned, didn't work (Open folder as root ...)

Just added

/dev/sda1 /media/C ntfs-3g defualts,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/D ntfs-3g defualts,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

To my /etc/fstab

And now working great.

Thnx again dibl & sorry for the late reply
