What I mean is, Ubuntu does not automount your NTFS partition by default. You need to click on the partition to mount it

“Everytime you need to access the NTFS partition, you have to first go to your Nautilus and click on the NTFS drive (and enter your password) to mount it before you can access it.

I am a bit confused here. I don’t have to do that. I just click on the partition I want and it pops open.

I am using Jaunty 9.04. Am I missing something here?

Just put a line in fstab
“sudo nano /etc/fstab”
“/dev/sda2 /mnt/windoze fuse.ntfs locale=en_US.utf8 0 0″

and your done. No messy GUI.

Mine did the exact same thing, and it wasn’t an external drive, but the main ntfs partition. Will I have troubles after having manually changed it to sda1?

sdb1 is a seagate free agent external USB drive, the software does work but not until I had removed the seagate.

That’s strange. I didn’t encounter this problem before. Is the sdb1 an external drive?

I don’t trust this software, my windows ntfs partition is at sda1, look at this screenshot, I have highlighted sda1 to be configured in the left-hand panel, whilst in the right hand panel all the info is for sdb1 which is a completely different partition and on a different drive.

I tried using this setup but for some reason my windows nfts partition doesn’t show up in the sda list. I easily mount it manually at each start. Also, it sees my vfat partition for my external HD completely fine.
Using windows vista on the dual boot. Any sharing options i need to check on the windows side to get to work?

Don’t worry about the “Mount read only”, somehow I am still able to read/write to my NTFS partition.

When you use command lines to access your filesystem, you have to use “sudo” infront of the command.

when i uncheck ”Mount read-only” option and press ok then Assistan to see if the option is still unchecked it is NOT!!?? whats happening?? also when i typed other commands that i found on the terminal there was ” root only ” and “permission denied” while i have only 1 user account. could i possibly not have full access???!@#!@….

Walter – i totally agree. A tool for managing the detection, mount-at-boot-time, and permissions of shared network drives and printers would be fantastic. I am ->this<- close to moving back to XP (eeek) because of this one problem.

Great article, I sure would like to see one that explains in the same detail how to mount Windows shared folders and shared printers from Ubuntu on a LAN. I just don’t get the hang of Samba — I think my problems are mostly with the Windows “security features”. The Windows server box is actually an old laptop running XP Home SP3.
