mount probleam

[joseborregana]

Hi!

This may sound a stupid question, but sorry, this is my first time with a Linux Dist.
I made a partition and installed Kubuntu on a the «c:» /dev/hda5 , that also has windows NTFS. Further i have a second HD also Windows NTFS /dev/hdb1.

Tried to mount those NTFS partitions, both apear as enabled, but i get a
"mont error 32" if i try to acess then


Done
sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o umask=0222

and i get:
mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/windows busy

What i´m i doing wrong, and were can o find a tutorial,faq for that prob?

Thanks!

Re: mount probleam

You getting this error because your HDD is already mounted directory. open /media/hda1 to access your windows partition. if you want to mount it on /media/windows directory, you must unmount it first. type sudo umount /dev/hda1 then mount it to where you want. you can also edit your /etc/fstab file to make changes permanent. post the output of cat /etc/fstab file if you need more assistance.

OK, now i hav no clue how to make those changes permant. CAnt you help me on that?

This is the output of

Re: mount probleam

Create a folder of / and name it windows then create two subfolder in this windows folder so you have /windows/c and /windows/d. change the entries in /etc/fstab file for /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1 like this.

/dev/hda1 /windows/c ntfs ro,auto,umask=022 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/d ntfs ro,auto,umask=022 0 0

, then type sudo umount -a && mount -a to unmount /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1 and mount them from old locations to new one. If all goes well you will be able to access both of your partitions (they will also automatically mount on every time you boot your computer)

ps:Please don't use the RW access for NTFS partitions, unless you risk corrupting your data.
