Well, I'd have recommended that you take an old PC and put Ubuntu on it. Wubi just adds another layer, and sometimes layers are not as transparent as one would like. > /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ... 24% / OK, this is wubi hiding stuff a bit. > /dev/sdb1 .... 35% /media/Local Disk This is the important one. You really should rename it without the space, just to make life easier. I'd rename it something like "songs" or "tunes" > It's showing Local Disk, where I have my music files, as /dev/sdb1. Right, so that is the good part. > I don't see the media disk here. So you need to mount it. I expect that something is automatically mounting it for you when you drive to it with the Places 'explorer" application You need to create a 'mount point' for the disk, its using /media for you, which is OK, but I like unique mount points for the device and the logical directory. But it may be ephemeral within Wubi, so you may have to wander over to the ubuntu/wubi support forums for details. Before you do that, open a shell, and then fire up the places -> computer application and explore the /dev/sdb1 device, then switch to the shell and do the cat /etc/fstab I would expect to see something like /dev/sdb1 /media/local disk .... stuff.... all you have to do is get the mount to happen automatically when wubi boots. The ubuntu forums are at http://ubuntuforums.org/ they are good, not as great as the SlimDevices folks, but still very helpful. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
