The specific syntax will depend on the file system of the Windows partition (fat32 vs ntfs). Examples: /dev/sda1 /path/to/mount vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /path/to/mount ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 Of course you should adjust this to match the specifics of your computer. > How do I do it that at every boot up I can see the hard drive in the file > system?? > Once there is an entry in the fstab, it will be mounted automatically on boot (unless you add the noauto option). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknCfSsACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNWyACfTGGAgBggz9D5aXN2R9EPcZ0h ctYAn2zV6AKRD+xT6E2PQp75ecWT6zs4 =kWT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:17:34 -0600 From: Gustin Johnson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] clug-talk Digest, Vol 53, Issue 27 To: CLUG General <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [email protected] wrote: >> Thanx for the way to get the windows drive in xubuntu.

It should be noted that recent iPod models are not currently supported. If anyone is in the market for an mp3 player, avoid Apple products. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknCfuQACgkQwRXgH3rKGfN+4QCfcF8nIFx2BNyjOZ8EHi4MGsWT UEMAn3f3ZayqhHbR4BILthrKn+UY1wyI =8qGr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:25:57 -0600 From: Mark Carlson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] ipod To: CLUG General <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 3/19/09, Gustin Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > Dan Mueller wrote: > > Whats the best application to load videos and music onto an ipod. > > Something not command line. > > > > I use Amarok, I have not tested videos though (2nd gen Nano does not > play videos). > > It should be noted that recent iPod models are not currently supported. > If anyone is in the market for an mp3 player, avoid Apple products. New versions of Amarok can manage videos on the iPod, but cannot play videos by itself as far as I know. It plays the audio in Amarok, but no video. -Mark C. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:37:23 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [clug-talk] ipod To: "CLUG General" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 > If anyone is in the market for an mp3 player, avoid Apple products.
