Try nano instead of gedit

after editing your file:
Save file: ctrl+o
quit nano: ctrl+x

Same terminal is OK.
Make sure nano is closed before you proceed with the rest.
Btw, you need to be root to do the apt-get install.

When ntfs-3g is installed, you'll still have to do the mount thing I already pointed out.

first you should check whether it's not mounted yet; Ubuntu may do that automatically; no need to mount anything that is already mounted. Have a look in /mnt/windows.

You may also have to log out now so that the ntfs-3g can be loaded first. To find out whether it's loaded, type:

lsmod

and check whether you see any reference to ntfs-3g; if you do, you're OK.

if there isn't a /mnt/windows yet, you need to create it.

mkdir /mnt/windows

Next step is mounting the partition:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /mnt/windows

Have a look in /mnt/windows; if you still can't see anything, we'll have to come up with something different.

Btw, it's getting very late here so unless you post back quick I may not be able to take this up again before tomorrow.

Password:
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because the NTFS journal file is unclean. Choices are:
A) Shutdown Windows properly.
B) Click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar
notification area before disconnecting the device.
C) Use 'Eject' from Windows Explorer to safely remove the device.
D) If you ran chkdsk previously then boot Windows again which will
automatically initialize the journal.
E) Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux which will reset the NTFS journal.
F) Mount the volume read-only by using the 'ro' mount option.

OK, last post before I turn in.

I suggest you take the suggestions seriously: boot into Windows first and let it do a system check if that's what it wants to do. The very fact that you could see files on the ntfs partition from the terminal but not in graphical mode was in itself an indication that something wasn't quite right. You may possibly have been working too hard at it without the proper modules so that the partition was slightly hurt. So do the wise thing and let win check itself first; otherwise you may completely lose the partition and all the data (keep your fingers crossed that's not the case yet).

Then reboot into Ubuntu and see whether it makes a difference.

I'm reluctant to jump back in here, since you're having so much fun, but I would like to point out something from the original post:
Code:
dr-x------ 1 root root 0 2007-01-05 22:22 Guitar Stuff
What this means is that the system could actually read the "Guitar Stuff" directory from the /mnt/windows directory from the beginning. It also means that "Guitar Stuff" is a directory owned by root and is read only by root. i.e. NO OTHER USER can access it, so that clearly the GUI was never going to get access to it. Whether the data has now been broken by loading ntfs-3g I can't say. I know nothing about that software, other than I think it's in early early stages of development.

I believe it would be this:
Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda5 /mnt/windows
I would advise you to consider doing "man mount" and looking through the parameters "-t" and "-o" to see and try to understand exactly what I'm having you do. But, in a nutshell, this opens a read-only ntfs partition located at /dev/sda5 onto /mnt/windows. I don't know what effect the ntfs-3g will have, but since we're opening it as ntfs and not ntfs-3g, it shouldn't be a problem.

If this mounts OK and you're able to do the "cp -a etc", you will need to do still another command to be able to see them from your home directory. This is the command, and I Cannot Stress Strongly Enough that you MUST NOT run this against "/mnt/windows"! Look at the man page for "chown" to see what I'm having you do.
Code:
sudo chown -R youruserid "Guitar Stuff"
In this case, I believe youruserid to be "ian", if I've been reading correctly. DO NOT do this against /mnt/windows!!!!! Do it only to the "Guitar Stuff" directory you create by the copy command.
