Hi everyone,

i'm new to the whole kubuntu/linux thing, so you're all going to have to be a little patient with me. i have a few issues/questions, but i'm going try and tackle them one by one, with your help hopefully.

my first issue is as follows. I recently put a new hard drive in my computer that currently had win2000 installed. i left the existing hard drive as is and installed kubunutu on the new hard drive, with the intention on having them both run on a dual boot. This works fine.

The only problem i'm having is that i'm unable to access the win2000 hard drive from kubuntu. the media folder only has my 2 cd/dvd drives and floppy. after reading around abit on these forums i figured out how to unhide hidden files and get into the dev folder. I don't have enough permission to read the hda, hda1, hdb, hdb2, hdb5 subfolders (i was sorta hoping my win2000 drive was hiding somewhere in there...

any help would be appreciated

Could you please open a terminal, type:

due to the lack of response here i decided to try the newbies board...

thanks for your help.. cut a long story short i figured out how to mount basically, but i still cant access the mount folder due to permissions and i cant figure out how to chmod it, due to the fact its a "read-only file system"
