I do not think any one has really approached the question. I am not sure if this will work in 5.1, give it a try. if you are logged in as root use mount /dev/sda1 /media/c if the drive is ntfs partition use: mount /dev/sda1 -t nfts /media/c its just an example
and how to find which drive is to mount is the next question ,in the above specified case the drive is /dev/sda1, lets see how to find it fdisk -l you will get some thing like this Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 2551 9728 57657285 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 2551 5100 20482843+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda6 5101 5776 5429938+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda7 7651 9728 16691503+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda8 5777 7532 14105038+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 7533 7650 947803+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris as u can see /dev/sda1, sda5,sda6,sda7 are windows partitions /dev/sda1 is ntfs so i use -t option while mounting. also search for /etc/fstab so that you can automount your drives. to find more about mount, google:) On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 9:15 AM, Aneesh A <[email protected]> wrote: > Hai, > > The OS you are using is outdated... > > Why don't you use new version of ubuntu??? > > On Sun, May 10, 2009 at 9:45 PM, Visakh <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hello Zacharia.
