Re: No permission to open my external hdd
I am going to say, that Master snow and Master dibl may have fixed the problem. This "bug" of windows can be rather annoying. I don't know why windows doesn't cleanly unmount the drives during shutdown. Linux is smart though in refusing to mount the drive.

Would your ntfs-3g nouser,defaults,atime,exec,force 0 2 be a better use than ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007 0 2 I suggested?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: No permission to open my external hdd
Ok, after booting to windows, and safely ejecting the usb HD, I returned to Kubuntu and re-entered the command, here's what it said when I executed "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/USB_HD
" :
The force mount wouldn't hurt anything would it?Volume is scheduled for check. Please boot into Windows TWICE, or
use the 'force' mount option. For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/USB_HD -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sdb1 /media/USB_HD ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0[img width=400 height=109]http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/2286/xzerorain4wm.gif[/img]Comment

Re: No permission to open my external hdd
No. Go ahead and change the fstab entry for the USB HD as the message is telling you. But change the last digit of the line from 0 to 2 so it looks like this:
Code:/dev/sdb1 /media/USB_HD ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 2

Re: No permission to open my external hdd
Well, it 'ain't' solved until you've booted, can see your HD and actually access it, so make the change, reboot and post back.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
