Im Very New User of linux lite i have issue about my hard drive.
I Install 2,3 Times Linux lite but after instalation always when i trying to open my hard its says "Couldn't Mount File".

That's really not enough information to enable anyone to find out what is wrong. Let's try to get a bit more detail out of you. You say you have installed your Linux Lite system. I assume that means that the installation has gone to completion with no obvious problems, you have removed the installation disc and you are trying to reboot into the new system on your hard drive. Is this correct?

If so, what happens during the boot? At what point in the boot process do you get these error messages? Do you get as far as a login screen or does it crash before that? What do you mean by "opening the hard drive"? Usually you don't open drives; they get mounted automatically by the system during boot or you mount them by hand.

If you can paste in the lines that precede and include the error message, so that we can see what the system was trying to respond to when it ran into the problem, that will help a lot.

In addition to the above questions, what exactly are you trying to do when you get the message "couldn't mount file"? Or maybe it said "filesystem"?

Clever Yancek! I bet that's exactly what it said. And the full message apparently goes "couldn't mount filesystem /dev/xxx on mount/point". If the OP can give us that message exactly as printed, we shall know what the system was trying to mount and where.

How is this Samsung drive connected? How is it formatted?
Has the drive been used before on another system? And if so, what system?

When windows 8 came out, as far as I know, UEFI was the BIOS type needed for Win 8. The boot partition has to be fat32, not ext4.

Could you post the make and model of the system? Do you know if you have a BIOS system, or a UEFI system?

Your posts are a bit cryptic and lacking information which is confusing. In your initial post, you indicate you have installed (or tried to install) Linux Lite. From what you posted, it seems you are unable to boot Linux Lite. Is that correct? In post 9, you give information showing only Linux on a drive. In post 8, you indicate that you have a drive which is used "only" for windows so did you install Linux Lite on a different drive on that computer?

Information needed for someone to help you is to indicate whether your windows is installed UEFI which I believe is the default for windows 8. If it is, you must also install Linux Lite EFI or you will have to access BIOS firmware to change operating system boot. Is the Samsung drive you are referring to the drive which as windows or is it the drive which has Linux Lite or are they both on the same drive?

It isn't really clear from your posts whether you can boot Linux Lite and are trying to access the windows partitions or whether you are unable to boot Linux Lite. Answering the questions asked will go a long way toward getting help. If you can boot Linux Lite and not access the windows partitions it is most likely to be because you have fastboot and/or hibernation on in windows. Clarify things please.
