Hi there
I just recover my computer from a serious damage. I installed MdOne2008. Now I want to save my files from an NTFS partition on my HDD. My HDD has 2 NTFS partitions with windows files. I can see them in Konqueror but if I try to access them an error occur:

CODE

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed
auth_admin_keep_always<-- (action, result)

how can I access the NTFS partition to save my files?

Thanks

Try mounting as a normal user not as root.
