I have the feeling that you mail agent is being mischievous, 'cos I get:- /dev/hda6 /windows/F ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 Have you tried mounting the partition by hand? I have an XP partition which mounts with a command like this one:- mount -t ntfs -o ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002 /dev/hda6 /windows/F Note that I haven't put in the nls=utf8 phrase because it causes the error message you mention. ( The nls=utf8 bit is not mentioned in the man page as an option for ntfs either - hint ) Also check that the /windows/F mount point exists. -- C. S.
