[SOLVED]I can't get into 2 of my hdd's

[barrefors]

Hi
I'm new here, installed Kubuntu yesterday, first time Linux for me and there are many new things and so far i have found all the answers here, but now i got a problem i can't find a solution for yet.

So, to my problem: I have 6 harddrives, 4 of them work properly, 2 i cant reach, i can see them in dolphin on the left menu but cant get in on them.

It can be so that those two are on my controllercard, a Sunsway/ST Lab PCI SATA 2P, SiL3512, but i am not sure.
If it is like that, how can i find a working driver?
But since i can recon them it doesnt seem like a driverproblem, so what can it then be?

I use kubuntu 8.10.

Hope anyone got an idé.

First welcome to Linux and to the KFN. Glad to have a new member among us.

The two HDs that you can see in Dolphin but can't access. How are they formatted? Where they used in Windoze XP or Vista?

Thank you, feels good to have joined =)

It was used in Wondows XP, filesystem NTFS.
3 of the others that i can access were also used in Win XP before.

Re: I can't get into 2 of my hdd's

Open a console and type the following commands. Copy and paste the output of each into your reply for review:

sudo fdisk -l

(that's a lower case L)

cat /etc/fstab

The first command will list all the HDs that are known, and how they are partitioned. The second command lists the contents of the fstab file that controls the mounting of filesystems at boot time.

I can't seem to access my extra drive either. I keep getting denied access, even though I can see it.

Wow, that looks like a can of worms...

Could you also be so kind as to post the output of

blkid -L

And could you use the "quote" thingy around the output so it is easier to see.

Thanks

Well, now i can see that those to TV and MP3 is "Not Mounted", so guess that is the problem =)
So how do i mount them?


Need the others in a better order also?

Re: [SOLVED]I can't get into 2 of my hdd's

After a lots of searching here and googling i got a good hunch of what the problem was and with a nice guide i found from dibl about mounting NTFS-drives in kubuntu i finally solved it =)

Thanks for the help anyway, i will probably need more times >.<
