sir_max Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) Hi there, i have a similar problem, but it was corrupt data on the hard drive (the windows partition have that problem), a friend fixed it with partition magic. perhaps you have a similar problem...after fixing the windows partition it mounted every boot. another option is that, if you have created a new partition the windows partition maybe have changed its number i.e: before hda3 after hda2, it's just a thought i hope my experience help you a little, i don't know how to fix those kind of problems from linux, i'm not a very advanced user just a basic one ;) i just mounted it as root mount /dev/hdxx /mnt/windows in conlole as root there could be an error from missing the type...if you have this error on your NTFS partition, write this: mount -t NTFS /dev/hdxx /mnt/windows, or mount -t auto /dev/hdxx /mnt/windows Greetings ;) P.S.: perhaps you clould post your fstab besides a "fdisk -l" to see if we can help you more ;) Edited September 17, 2004 by sir_max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
