Problem with Hard Disk and LxMCE

[Frozen Corn]

Hey thanks in advance for the support. I'm a real newbie but burnt out on the limits of M$O$. I'm running Kubuntu on a living room MCE system, and have a ton of questions. One at a time:

how do I get this thing to read the files on my other partitions? I can open them up on KDE, but my linux MCE won't read them! it can read files on my networked computers just fine, just not internal HD stuff!!!

Thanks again for the help.

Re: Problem with Hard Disk and LxMCE

did you try mounting them?

Lets say you have two physical hard drives.(sda and sdb).Let's say sdb1 is your linux partition, and sda1 is a windows partition with ntfs, sda2 is with fat 32.

Step 1. Creating mountpoints:
Open the konsole, and type

sudo mkdir /media/win1
sudo mkdir /media/win2

now that we have two empty folders, lets mount the partitions in them

Step 2. Mounting:
in the same konsole(or you can open another if you want ) type

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/win1 
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/win2

Now let's try to access the drives. If everything's fine, we'll add these mountpoints to /etc/fstab
But we'll come to that later.
