[SOLVED] AutoMounting NTFS

[sp1408]

I've read about a thousand posts on how to automount a windows partition in Kubuntu.
(Ive seen all the ones on this forum also).
But I still can't seem to get it right.
Also,I used mountmanager,and that kind of screwed up my fstab file.

here's what comes when I run the fdisk thingy.

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0500f4e4

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 36068 289715186 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 37396 38913 12186624 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 36069 37395 10659127+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 36069 37333 10161081 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 37334 37395 497983+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order


And heres what comes when I run blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="0472A04018C963D8" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: UUID="2E0076350076045D" LABEL="RECOVERY" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: UUID="b6e9688c-baa4-4fc4-8856-4269a2ffd374" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda6: UUID="2858d706-504a-4188-ab8b-8094b19223b0" TYPE="swap"

And here is my fstab currently
UUID=b6e9688c-baa4-4fc4-8856-4269a2ffd374 / ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=2858d706-504a-4188-ab8b-8094b19223b0 swap swap sw 0 0





Can someone please help me with this?
(The drive I want to automount is sda1)

Re: AutoMounting NTFS.(I know you've seen this a 100 times...but I've tried every

do you have the ntfs-3g installed and is it not mounted in /media/disk.?

medea disk is usualey for hall to mount thing's as you plug them.....but if it's used it should make a disk2-3-4.....

and a reboot mite mount it as fstab has it.

look in /media and see if thars a folder named disk......if not make one and reboot

I would do this if you have ntfs-3g installed open a terminal and enter

sudo mkdir /media/windows

then

kdesudo kate /etc/fstab

and change the line /dev/sda1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 to

/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

now back to the terminal and

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windows

and now you should be good.............if you get errors mounting it you may half to go to windows and run chkdsk on it as if thars some file system coruption it wont mount!!
