I have an AMD 64 with windows xp, windows xp 64bit ,Mandrake 64 and Ubuntu. I am not able to mount windows partitions.

Partitions are as follow:

Disk /dev/hda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

this is the /etx/fstab

/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs umask=0222
/dev/hda2 /media/windows ntfs umask=0222

Is something wrong? help please. I would like to listen the music that I have in windows xp partition with ubuntu. Thanks

Do you have ntfs support included in your kernel? The last time I checked, it was still experimental for writing and hence the default (for FC) was to not allow it.

What happens when you type
mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows

(BTW, why are all three mount points the same? Shouldn't they be something like /media/win1, /media/win2, /media/win3 ?

Dear newbieSC,

Although i'm not here to help you, i could point out that if you really wanted help, you might had realized that you are in the wrong place.

This is the 'Website Suggestions & Feedback' section.

If you need help goto: 'Linux - Newbie' or 'Linux - General' or 'Linux - Hardware'

I am goin to try tonight, thanks for your help

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux - Newbie and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

You are right. Thanks I'll change it

When I type:

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows

mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/windows busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda3 is already mounted on /media/windows

I have a folder but is empty

I'm sorry, I'll go to the right place. I am new to this
