Re: change partition permission?

As I posted earlier, change the file so it looks exactly like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda2
UUID=63cd03bb-f4d5-41cb-9e08-d77a859e1699 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=60E457AFE45785E6 ntfs defaults 0 2
# /dev/sda5
UUID=86fd2048-4f1b-42b5-b5bf-78eacd3a346b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0

The bolded entries are the two new lines you are adding to the file. These two new lines need to be exactly where I show them in the file.

Re: change partition permission?

Before you do, copy/paste your fstab file for a review:

Open a console and type:

cat /etc/fstab

Copy and paste in your reply.

Re: change partition permission?

Looks good. Yes, you want to perform an normal shutdown/restart. Once you are logged back in and on your desktop, report back any problems (if any) you have.

Re: change partition permission?

ok, il be back.

thanks!

Re: change partition permission?

i think the partition has been mounted but when i tried to access it, it says "permission denied"...

[Snowhog]

Re: change partition permission?

Hmm. Open a console and type:

cat /etc/mtab

Copy and paste the output.

Re: change partition permission?

Damn! Hate it when I make a mistake. :P

Okay, I forgot an essential part of the line you added to the /etc/fstab file. In Konqueror, again navigate to /etc and right-click on fstab and Actions | Edit as Root.

Change the line:

UUID=60E457AFE45785E6 ntfs defaults 0 2

to:

UUID=60E457AFE45785E6 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults 0 2

Note that there is a space between 6 and /media/sda1

Save, close, and restart your system.

Re: change partition permission?

@Snowhog, i think it's getting even worse...
sda1 isn't detected anymore, i couldn't see it in the storage media...

Re: change partition permission?

Troubleshooting over the Internet via text messages is to say the least, slow. But not to worry. This can be resolved. Open a console and type:

cat /etc/fstab && cat /etc/mtab && blkid

Copy/paste the entire output for review.

Re: change partition permission?

..im fine..

here's the output...

Re: change partition permission?

The last command was blkid (not bikid). Redo that last command and paste the output.
