Sorry mate, you cannot view your windows NTFS partitions, because Ubuntu doesn't allow users to access NTFS partitions. You can access them as the Super User though.

U can access ntfs partition u can read write(ntfs-3g) and more in Ubuntu.try reading the guide @ *ubuntuguide.org in specific ntfs area:
*ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_users_read_and_write_access
*ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_apt-get_the_easy_way_.28Synaptic.29

and..dude u already posted the same question somewhere in da forum hmm..

Do a sudo apt-get install ntfs-config and then go to Applications > System > NTFS Configuration Tool Select the check-boxes and hit Ok. And, you're done.

If you got Ubuntu 7.04, you can read it without any difficulty

most of the times ubuntu automatically mounts the partitions in /media folder or /mnt folder, check out !!!

Uhh, 3 month old thread!

well ubuntu 7.04 mount the windows drive in case of ntfs u can only read not write but search for ntfs in synaptic manager you will found a tool by which you can enable write in ntfs drive ...........

install ntfs-3g using the following command
#sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

after installation open "fstab"

#sudo vim /etc/fstab

u ll c some lines added by ubuntu while installation.... to mount your own ntfs partitions mount it at startup by adding such lines for every partition...

/dev/hda1 /media/<name> ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

PS: yu must ve already created a folder *name* in /media folder

Amit Surana - All that isn't needed. What you actually have to do is:

Run:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

Go to Applications > System Tools > NTFS Configuration Tool and check both boxes.

All done.

Edit: HECK! I just realized I'd already posted the same AND posted that this thing is old! I never bothered looking at the top posts ( I clicked the latest post link and posted away!
