I would say it is already mounted, or in Windows terminology "assigned a drive letter", since automount is enabled by default. I don't think a partition can be assigned to a drive letter and a mount point at the same time, thus the access denied. Try unmounting the partition first using mountvol /p. Then you *SHOULD* be able to mount it at a mount point (NTFS folder) using either Disk Manager or the mountvol command. > 3.
