Prahmod, you suffered due to the mount point you provided "/media/Property". The system expects only a word here with no slashes(/) in it. While mounting it just creates a folder which you provided in /media and mounts the volume there. Here is the solution for it man. Open gconf-editor in terminal: $ gconf-editor In the left panel: Goto: system -> Storage -> volumes Here you will see the mount point you specified for the device. Change it to just a single word (OR just remove it :) ) For detail : http://howtoxyz.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-mountpoint-cannot-contain.html "SAY YES TO LINUX" > > > i even tried using fstab and even mtab(i am new to this command) but > nothing was fruitful. > so guys help me get of this.i am unable to browse the files of that > partioion in linux but it's fine with windows.but i hate windows.help me > get my partition in linux. > and also do share how to mount the drive at the boot time. > lastly "SAY YES TO LINUX" > Prahmod > > > > -- > Ubuntu-np mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-np > -- Regards, Suraj Sapkota सुरज सापकोटा ----- Windows without the X is like making love without a partner.
