NOT ABLE TO SEE WINDOWS PARTITION!!!!!!!!

Re: NOT ABLE TO SEE WINDOWS PARTITION!!!!!!!!

Hi.

I am looking at your fstab file and have a sneaky suspicion that UUID entry for the ntfs drive is invalid. If you are having problems accessing the drive from your linux box, I would check all the UUID's are valid. In a terminal type:

# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

The output from the terminal for /dev/sda1 should have the same UUID in the fstab.

Hope it helps.

I get that frequently too, and 99.9% of the time its because I didn't shut down Windows properly. The basic fix is to shut down Kubuntu normally, restart into Windows. Log in, wait for everything to load up (I know, that could take a while depending on what you have in your boot.ini file in msconfig), then shut down computer. Boot back up into Kubuntu, the drives should now be visible.

As others have said, its a Windows issue of not unmounting the drives (probably because the computer didn't shut down properly).
