      This sentence is a bit confusing -- do you mean you bring someone's USB hard drive and connect it to the USB port? Or do you mean you actually connect IDE/PATA hard drives to the main board on your computer?

      It is not a difficult thing to edit your /etc/fstab file to automatically mount the NTFS partitions of your existing hard drive. But what distribution and version are you running? Kubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 use /dev/sda for drive numbering -- hda is not used anymore by *buntu.

      If you will open the Konsole and issue the command
      Code:
      blkid
      it will be possible to identify the UUIDs of the NTFS partitions, and use those to make mount lines in the /etc/fstab file.

      Also, open KMenu>System>Adept Manager and make sure the package "ntfs-3g" is installed. If not, mark it and then click "Apply" on the top menu to install it.

            hi again
            i solved 50% of my proplem now i could mount these ntfs partitions every time i turn on my pc if i shut down then i have to mount them again manually i want to do this automatically also if i get new hard drive i want to be mounted automatic without any command from me.

            i used these commands to solve proplem i didnt change fstab just run these commands

            blkid

            sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows/hda1
            sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows/hda5
            sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda6 /mnt/windows/hda6
            sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /mnt/windows/hdda
            sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd2 /mnt/windows/hdd2
            when i shutdown i have to run these command aain anyway to make these automatically??

              Re: help me please im new tp linux

              Did you check, as dibl suggested, to see if the package ntfs-3g is intalled?

              K Menu | System | Adept Manger

              Search for ntfs-config
              If it isn't installed, install it. This will also install ntfs-3g. The process 'should' update your fstab file, but if it doesn't, post back. You are only a few steps away from getting what you want.

                Well, there's a fundamental problem here. Setting aside the issue of USB drives, the Linux filesystem is designed to (at boot time) scan /etc/fstab and establish the mounted partitions and drives accordingly. /etc/fstab is a static file (again setting aside the issue of USB drives, which apparently is irrelevant to the posted question).

                So, you have the /etc/fstab file which says "drive x, partition 1 is a "b" formatted filesystem". If you pull the plug on that drive, and plug in a different drive, and reboot the computer, you haven't changed /etc/fstab -- it still has the original information. So, you will quickly create a borked-up mess by plugging IDE drives in helter-skelter and attempting to run your Linux system. IDE/PATA drives are not "hot pluggable" in Linux.

                It certainly is possible to add an IDE/PATA drive to a computer with Linux running on an existing IDE/PATA or SATA drive, but the /etc/fstab file must be edited to correctly reflect the partitions and filesystem format on the added drive -- it won't happen automatically.

                I hope this is clear and understandable -- I see that you've had some success reading your NTFS partitions, so that's progress!

                  Re: help me please im new tp linux

                  Maybe I overlooked it here, but I didn't see any example of "ntfs-3g" use in the fstab file. See below.


                  Code:
                  /dev/sda1  /media/sda1  ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8  0  0
/dev/sda2  /media/sda2  ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8  0  0
