    [SOLVED] change partition permission?

    i've searched around but couldn't answers that would satisfy me...

    i can't access my windows partition from kubuntu. i guess it has something to do with permissions but when i tried to locate windows partition via konsole to change it, i couldn't find such. or maybe i just don't know how to locate it...

    thanks!

    Re: change partition permission?

    What version of Kubuntu are you using?

    Open a console and type:
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    Copy and paste the results. This will show us how your HDs are partitioned and formatted.

        Re: change partition permission?

        So you have a single 40G HD and an attached 2G USB Thumb Drive. On the 40G HD you have three partions - sda1, sda2, and sda5 (sda3 is an extend partition in which sda5 (a logical partition) resides). sda1 is your partition that contains Windoze (Win XP or Vista??).

        Open Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manager) and search for ntfs-3g. If it isn't installed, click the > arrow and click on Request Install and then click on Apply Changes to have it installed.

        Then open a console and type:
        Code:
        cat /etc/fstab
        Copy and paste the output.

          unfortunately i cannot do this under kubuntu, my internet connection is broken. my onboard network card isn't detected. il have to buy a PCI LAN card first. but i'll download and install it manually anyway, so this is gonna take a while...il be back as soon as i have the output...

          thanks!

            hi just have my internet back..
            i've installed the ntfs-3g. here's the output of the comman

            adredz@adredz-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab
            # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
            #
            # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
            proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
            # /dev/sda2
            UUID=63cd03bb-f4d5-41cb-9e08-d77a859e1699 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
            # /dev/sda5

            /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0


            btw, my windows partition is detected but kubuntu won't allow me to access it...

              If you will open the Konsole and enter the command
              Code:
              blkid
              we can probably tell you how to add a line to the /etc/fstab file that will automatically mount your NTFS formatted partition.

                  Edit your /etc/fstab as 'root'. Open a console and type:
                  Code:
                  kdesu kate /etc/fstab
                  Change your file so it looks exactly like the following:
                  # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
                  #
                  # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
                  proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
                  # /dev/sda2
                  UUID=63cd03bb-f4d5-41cb-9e08-d77a859e1699 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
                  # /dev/sda1
                  UUID=60E457AFE45785E6 ntfs defaults 0 2
                  # /dev/sda5

                      What version of *ubuntu are you running? Guess I should have asked that earlier. No matter. Open Konqueror and navigate to /etc and then right-click on fstab and select Actions | Edit as Root

                      This will open the file for editing (as root).
