Kubuntu n00b in need of assistance - Can't access 2nd HDD

[Scott_L]

I just can't seem to be able to access my secondary hard drive, it just doesnt show up or I'm looking in the wrong spot or I forgot to do something, please help!

oh, and would the files that were put on that hard drive (mainly videos and audio files) still function properly on Kubuntu as it did in Windows XP?

First, post your fstab (found at /etc/fstab).

On the audio/video, that will probably work fine, unless you use the proprietary WMA or WMV formats, in which care you'll need to use the VLC media player (available through Adept).

As well as the system's complete answer to the K/console command sudo fdisk -l ("minus ell") ...

Here's my fstab


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

and the systems answer to the command you wanted me to input:

/dev/sda1 /Secondary\040HDD auto users,noauto,atime,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0


Create an appropriate mount point, e.g. by



sudo mkdir /media/windoze
sudo chmod 777 /media/windoze


- then change the quoted "fstab entry" to



/dev/sda1 /media/windoze auto users,auto,ro,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=333 0 0


(Not sure about the file system, though ...)
