in [UK Linux]

From: Gordon on 15 Dec 2009 17:11 Help! Ubuntu 9.04 dual-boot with Windows I clicked on a mounted NTFS Partition and in Properties I entered a Mount point as /Media/Data and File type as NTFS - now it won't mount. I get the error message: " org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError." Details: "libhal.c 1399 : wrong reply from hald. Expecting an array. org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFilesystemType" It's not in fstab, so how do I make this mount again?

From the output of $ sudo fdisk -l (assuming you're using ubuntu or a derivative. If not, do an fdisk -l as root) Note EXACTLY where your NTFS partitions lies. You'll than need to make a directory for your NTFS partition like such $ sudo mkdir /media/NTFS_MY_DISK And then tell Ubuntu what to mount, and where to mount it sudo mount -t ntfs /media/NTFS_MY_DISK /dev/{location of ntfs drive as given by fdisk -l ... such as /hdaX} Any issues with that, let me know. -- Moog "Some mornings it doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps"

Sorry Gordon. I should have stated $ sudo mkdir /mnt/NTFS_MY_DISK Then replace all "/media" refs with "/mnt" in my previous post. Imagine getting your medias mixed with your mounts?
