Guest JeetNayan Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Actually i have a desktop of the configuration : Intel Cerelon D processor;RAM:256 MB;80 GB HDD;DVD/CDRW; I am new to linux,I have recently installed Mandriva 2008 on my machine on a separate 10 GB partion;the remaining partitions are of type NTFS where i have a lot of data. From the start i was only being able to read data form the partitions of NTFS type but not being able to write to them, this was my first problem. But suddenly a error started coming which says : "File or Folder /mnt/win_c does not exist" when i am trying to open my Drive C using konqueror. this is happening for all the NTFS partions. But when i can view all my file within win_c from the terminal using ls. please help me with this problem. thanking you in advance. JeetNayan.

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ensure you have the package ntfs-3g installed. Â You might want to also install ntfs-config which is a graphical utility for configuring your ntfs drives. Â Both packages are available in the Software section of Configure Your Computer or you can install via commandline as root with urpmi ntfs-3g ntfs-config Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I don't think that Mandriva 2008 had ntfs-3g... just the read-only ntfs driver. The issue is very likely due to insufficient permissions for the user. Can you please give us the output of cat /etc/fstab command? And, for safe+fast read+write from/to NTFS partitions, you will need a reecent ntfs-3g driver. Edited January 17, 2010 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 But when i can view all my file within win_c from the terminal using ls. You can see your files from the terminal? Or only when you are root? If you can see your files then it's certainly not a hardware problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
