Hello everyone,
I am running linux mint rosa in dual boot with windows 10. I am having this problem from a couple of days, i'am unable to browse the partitions of my hard disk from linux mint while there is no problem with windows. I have properly shutdown the windows and also turned off the fast boot option in windows.
please help me out! http://s33.postimg.org/ajr5gcfn3/screenshot.jpg
hello,
sorry for the late reply.
this is the output
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

hello john vv,
so i should mount using these commands for every partition?
is once enough or should i be doing it everytime i start linux mint?
thanks!
hello again john vv,
i tried the solution posted by you and sad to say it did not work out.
here is the result....
linuxmint drkarthik # mkdir /mnt/windows
linuxmint drkarthik # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda7 /mnt/windows
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is already mounted on /mnt/windows
linuxmint drkarthik # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda8 /mnt/windows
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is already mounted on /mnt/windows

You need to unmount filesystems first using umount if they're already mounted and you want to remount them.
Let's start from the beginning though. Can you reboot your system and, before anything else, run blkid and mount and then paste the output of both commands here so we can see which devices your system (i) can see; (ii) has auto mounted the filesystem of.

Thanks. What a large number of NTFS devices you have on that disk - what is that all about?
Anyway, let's assume that /dev/sda5 is your C: partition (you can run lsblk and have a look at the device sizes to determine which one is the correct device).
Execute the following command lines:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/windows
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 -t ntfs -o rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 /media/windows
Then navigate to /media/windows and tell us how you get on.

hello again,
did as you advised.
here is the output linuxmint drkarthik # sudo mkdir /media/windows
linuxmint drkarthik # sudo mount /dev/sda5 -t ntfs -o rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 /media/windows
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda5 is already mounted on /media/windows
and the /media/windows folder is empty.m with
about the hard disk partitions,
it is a 1 tb internal laptop hard disk.
came with windows and i only made 4 partitions and made it into a dualboot system with linux mint.
and i also tried to install os x once and failed, that is why there is a hfs partition.
thanks!!
