mount internal HDD
I would like to access the windows HDD in Ubuntu. This is my setup:
PC A SATA HDD running windows 10 bootloader SDA1 SATA HDD running windows 10 OS SDB2 PC B SSD DRIVE running Ubuntu 14.04LTS SDA2 EXT4 SSD DRIVE SDA5 SWAP SSD DRIVE SDA6 HOME Obviously windows installed the bootloader during the process. It showed up in Ubuntu so I just left it there on the Sata drive and let Ubuntu install grub on the SSD drive. a seamless way to dual boot. BUT now I cant access windows from ubuntu. Is it possible to mount the windows sata drive as either ro or rw for occasional use please.

yes, you need to install ntfs driver. Its name is ntfs-3g.
Next you need to configure /etc/fstab to specify mount points. |
thanks Pan. installed the driver but output of /etc/stab:
bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied can you help please thanks |
/etc/fstab is a file, you need to edit it, enter the filesystems you want to mount.
see man fstab and http://askubuntu.com/questions/11373...n-in-etc-fstab |
arranskye,
What is the output of: Code:
sudo blkid http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d-drive-36892/ Look at the section from: find the UUID of the HDD to Code:
sudo chown -R jimmy:jimmy /media/drive2 |
Thanks pan & BB
just trying to learn Linux so i really appreciate your help. I will do my best to follow your instructions. Also could you tell me how to find tags to add and also how to highlight the thread title. thanks |
As a reminder make sure you disable windows fast start up. When windows 10 is shutdown this will put the NTFS file systems in a clean state so that it can be accessed by Ubuntu.
|
arranskye,
Personally I do not bother with tags except on a blog. Isn't the thread title highlighted (in bold) automatically? |

You can mount the partition manually if you want to access it either with a simple mount command or using a script to mount it. This seems like what you want as you mention "occasional use". Putting an entry in the /etc/fstab file will mean it is always mounted. The link below has a number of examples of fstab entries for ntfs partitions. The second link below has an example of a simple mount command to manually mount an ntfs partition with a basic explanation. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251 |
Hi all, First very big thanks to all of you for your commen links, and information. Sorry for the long delay in responding. I had to go away for a couple of days but apart from that I have spent many many hours on this. My choice. Read all the links many times and links led to more links and man pages to be studied until I had a reasonable understanding. And wow! This was an excellent learning process, so again many many thanks. I have not got it quite right. See error on ext 4 also "Disks file" shows NSFT not mounted.

Hi yancek
Forgot to say I disabled fast boot & secure Boot in the Bios before installing Windows 10 Immediately after the installation I disabled fast boot and hibernation. There was another option "Sleep" I checked do nothing for this option. I hope you can point me in the right direction to correct where i have gone wrong I think the fstab configuration is correct but perhaps sudo mount-a is incorrect although it did add sdb2. oooops SOMETHING BADLY WRONG. JUST FOUND THIS ON THE TERMINAL WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT. PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT |
many thanks for your super fast replies. So sorry about this and disappointed in myself. I copied and pasted notes as i went along and one said there should be no spaces in gedit just commas and forward slashes but I probably misunderstood anyway that why I entered it as I did.
Should I delete the original incorrect line before inputting the correct one detailed by michaelk. michaelk Can I type in your line exactly as is with the relevant spaces etc. please. yancek sorry for the stupid typing error I checked and rechecked. Typed everything into libre doc. before entering gedit but obviously missed it. Stupid!!! Only excuse: I have passed senior citizen status and just gone into antique. I have been using Ubuntu as my daily OS for 2.5 years. Studied loads of tutorials etc. but found it difficult to retain the info unless I was actually doing a process such as this. Ref: media directory. terminal: mkdir/media/windows nothing appeared to happen and I could not find out where or how to view the directory to establish that it had been created. I re-entered the code and the command line said media/windows already exists. If you could explain where to find it I could then establish if it relates to windows, Ubuntu or empty. Thanks |
