How do I get Linux to detect my NTFS drive?
 

My C: is NTFS and Linux doesn't seem to be able to detect it (my other drives are FAT32 and they are fine)
What can I change to make it work?
My /etc/fstab looks like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hdb2 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb5 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro
/dev/hda2 /c vfat
/dev/hda5 /d vfat
/dev/hda6 /e vfat auto,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda7 /f vfat

First off, your fstab says your C: drive is /dev/hda2 and that it uses vfat/fat32. If that's not the case, comment that line out.

If your C: drive is /dev/hda1 then try to mount it from the shell first to verify it works: umount /c
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /c

The umount command unmounts partitions. If you have a partition mounted on /c already it would be possible to mount another one at that same mountpoint. If this works, add it to your /etc/fstab:It is also possible that your distribution by default doesn't support ntfs at all (Debian does, though, if that's what you use). If that's the case, check out the linux-ntfs project at sourceforge.net.

Ah you are right, it should be /hda1 not /hda2, silly me.
Thanks :)
