Thread: Help with mounting NTFS partition please

hello,

i've tried mount windows vista partition following direction on kubuntuguide.org. asks install ntfs-3g, add user group called fuse(i added both regular account , root fuse), , enter following line /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/windowsntfs ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0

did this. winvista directory shows under /media there's nothing inside it.

/etc/fstab file looks like:

code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.  #  # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>  proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0  # /dev/sda3  uuid=4cf17e41-44c3-407d-a347-8342cc8132e3 /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1  # /dev/sda5  uuid=e83dc45d-24de-45a9-b647-72cf7f81d67c none            swap    sw              0       0  /dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0  # mine  #/dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1001,umask=0002 0 0  /dev/sda2 /mnt/windowsntfs ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0

and sudo fdisk -l

code:

disk /dev/sda: 120.0 gb, 120034123776 bytes  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders  units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes  disk identifier: 0x28000000       device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system  /dev/sda1               1           6       48163+  de  dell utility  /dev/sda2   *           7        8586    68915039+   7  hpfs/ntfs  /dev/sda3            8587       14341    46227037+  83  linux  /dev/sda4           14342       14593     2024190    5  extended  /dev/sda5           14342       14593     2024158+  82  linux swap / solaris

could kindly tell me i'm doing wrong.

try this:

sudo mkdir winpart
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 winpart

, tell me says, please.
if don't error message, vista partition mounted in winpart directory.

can check deeper fstab. should work, i'll admit i've never worked vista.
