Unable to mount external HD on Dell Mini/Ubuntu 8.04
Searched the Internet and attempted many solutions for this, nothing is working. I am relatively inexperience with Linux but I need this HD hooked up ASAP before I head to Afghanistan. Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Using Dell Inspiron Mini with Ubuntu 8.04. Connecting WD My Passport External HD. Error message: "Cannot mount the Volume. Unable to mount the volume 'My Passport'" with Details:
"$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the comman line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/My Passport -o force Or add the option to the relevent row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sdc1 /media/My Passport ntfs-3g force 0 0"
Assuming I am illiterate with Linux can someone guide me to fix this problem
