Password:

Ahh, Thank you I apologize for my ignorance. Unfortunately when I attempt to comment the line out I receive the following error. "The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to /etc/fstab. I gave myself permission and obviously when I mounted the drive to /var (like an idiot) it saved. Can I replace it with fstab.old? I see that in the same folder and I tried manually overwriting it but I keep getting denied. Thank you again for dealing with noobs lol.

I'm not sure what you mean "uncomment" I went to unmount it I receive this error msg. "error unmounting /var: device is busy"

Just for the heck of it I mounted it to /var and it no longer showed up on the side as locations this is the results;

I'm still relatively a noob to linux, is there a better mount point?

First off, I want to apologize if this is a duplicate post, I searched and searched but didn't come across anything. I have Mandriva 2009.1 installed on my HP DV9608nr and I love it. Most stable Linux OS I've come across and I've tried many. Unfortunately I cannot get my second hard drive to mount. I've used the partitioning tool formatted and set the mount point, all that good stuff but I keep receiving the same error msg. "an error occurred while accessing 'Volume (ext3)', The system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <--(action,result) ". As far as I can tell I have all the permissions to make any adjustments needed. Thanks for any assistance in advanced!

I did this and it seemed to work but now when I restart my PC it boots into a terminal instead of the desktop
I deleted the # and I have recovered the desktop, I believe some files were copied over to the new hdd that are essential to the functionality of my desktop. I am debating install the Alpha 2 release and chocking this up to a learning experience...
