Seeing my Windows Files....WHY?????
 

Why am I seeing my Windows files in the mnt/windows/ directory?????

How can I remove them??

If i remove them will this cause a conflict in Linux or Windows???? I am seeing my Windows Program Files and everything in the /mnt/windows/

How can I remove these? And will it cause a problem if I do remove them?

hi
Is this a joke ?

I should think you have your windows partition mounted in /mnt/windows. Verfiy with

cat /etc/fstab

Theres no comflict, in fact most people see it as useful to retrive files from windows without having to reboot.

No it's normal, but windows is crap, why does everyone dual boot windows.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..............

I am dual-booting, but I use Windows like .0000000001% of the time.....:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

But is it normal to have these files in there or not? And how could I remove them?

I verified with the cat fstab command and the results were No Such File or directory.....

wtf? are serious?? dude.. you're distro automatically added you Windows partition to your fstab... edit it(as root) and remove/comment the line that says something like:

/mnt/windows /dev/hdax ntfs defaults 0 0

or something similar (the /mnt/windows is the line you're looking for)

this is a normal operation.. i don't know why you're concerned with this?? You can't write anything to the windows partition.. only read..

You are seeing them becuase linux is mounting your windows partition in /mnt/windows. To remove them just umount the partition ...

umount /mnt/windows

To prevent linux from automatically mounting you windows partition at boot just add a "noauto" in column 4 of you /etc/fstab file. Then in the future, if for some reason you want to mount you windows parition:

mount /mnt/windows
do some stuff... whatever you like
umount /mnt/windows

If you never want to mount the partition agian, just delete the line containing /mnt/windows in it from your /etc/fstab file.

You are just umounting it. You will still be able to boot into windows.

Ok I got it.... WARNING....SLOW TYPER...

man windows sucks ass, the only excuse i got for using it is for my all-in-one printer and webcam.....

*And I still dont use it

Ok, what should I remove for here the /etc/fstab???
Should I remove the following line???? /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0 My question is, from what point and what end should I remove the line??? Until it says unamask=0 0 0???? Or, what???

Should I remove this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
or the whole thing???

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

Which PART OF THE LINE do I have to remove???

Pretty sure you need only remove the However you can just put a # in front of it and it will ignore the line when loading up. Use this in case you change your mind at a later date.
