earsh0t Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 ok, i think i found the problem, my fstab file says this, /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0022,defaults 0 0 i found this in another thread, /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 so i tryed changing that but when i whent to save it, it sed i dont have permision to do that, so i go into the terminal and "SU" to root, try it again...still says i dont have the right to do it.....what do i do???

oshunluvr Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 It seems you may have more than one issue. Change your fstab entry to /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 Obviously, use the correct /dev/hXXX for your ntfs partition. Notice you used both hda1 and hdb1 in your post. A good way to ensure you're doing it right is to use the diskdrake tool rather than directly editing the fstab file. Just enter 'diskdrake' from a console (as root). The next thing to check is the permissions of the /mnt/windows folder. I believe the default settings will lock out non-root users. Another thing is - if a mounted volume appears empty, the first thing to check is to see if it's actually mounted. diskdrake will tell you if it's mounted or not and let you mount it with a click. "mount -a" from the console (as root) will mount everything possible in fstab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earsh0t Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) yes i know about he HDa1 and hdb1 thing, i just copyed and pasted that stuff over for times sake. ive checked all the permissions, it wont let me change them. even if i SU in the terminal, it still says i dont have permission to change it.
