NTFS mount problems in Debian!!!

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/ntfs-mount-problems-in-debian.99042/

I run a XP-Debian(Testing) sytem! My XP-partitions are not accessible from Debian- I get a message that says-"cant mount media, u do not have proper permission!!" Any Help!!!!!

Are u doing it as root?

from terminal use mount command as root

man mount for further dig

Use the ntfs-3g command to mount instead, and prepend sudo to your command

Code:

Example:

[B]sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/Windows/C[/B] # Optionally, add [B]-o force[/B] as an option

or install ntfs-config via

Code:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

now run it via, ntfs-config

ntfs-config is the best option seems here...

if XP is in hibernated state....u can't mount NTFS partitions, this can happen to dual booting, usually v will forget whether v hav hibernated XP or not before booting to linux

I'm sure the force option would remove that issue.
