You can force mount the NTFS drive, when Windows wasn't shut down cleanly. # mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/device-name /mount/point should do it, for you. [Note: You need root privileges to run this command] [I have no experience with the tool you mentioned] > connected..after using ntfs-config i changed the mount point name..it again > gave me the same error..and then said i didnt have privileges to mount the > partition.. Did you try that with root privileges? HTH, punchagan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
