    How to Mount a Linux ext3 Partition SOLVED!

    Howdy,
    I have a dual boot going XP 60GB --100GB ext3 Shared-- kubuntu 60 GB ext3. I can access the 100GB area from XP but not from Linux. I don't know how it find it. I'm new to linux. I was following a tutorial by psychocat and here's what I typed in the terminal:

    sudo fdisk -l
    Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 1 8071 64830276 7 HPFS/NTF
    /dev/sda2 8072 22095 112647780 83 Linux
    /dev/sda3 22096 30060 63978862+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda4 30061 30401 2739082+ 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 30061 30401 2739051 82 Linux sw
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir/storage
    sudo: mkdir/storage: command not found
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir /storage
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$ sudo cp /ect/fstab_backup
    cp: missing destination file operand after `/ect/fstab_backup'
    Try `cp --help' for more information.
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$ sudo cp /ect/fstab ect/fstab_backup
    cp: cannot stat `/ect/fstab': No such file or directory
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$ sudo cp /ect/fstab /ect/fstab_backup sudo nano /ect/fstab
    cp: target `/ect/fstab' is not a directory
    penryn@penryn-desktop:~$

    Please help as I have NO clue

    Hi Penryn,
    I thought I would reply to Myself. I figured it out and thought I would post here for others.

    System Settings - advanced- Disk and file systems. I signed in as Admin. Right clicked the partition I wanted to mount.
    A window pops up: (TYPE) I choose EXT3 then in (mount point) I typed: /media
    I am so happy I've been messing with dual booting to get it just the way I want and not after many failures. It here! Yeehaw
