No apologies needed - it was a helpful post, and I have nothing against people helping out if they know the answer :)

It depends how you manually mounted it. If you haven't edited /etc/fstab then you should just be able to run
sudo rmdir /media/Storage while the drive isn't mounted.

Thanks. I updated the first post to reflect that. It's also worth noting that you could also run
sudo apt-get install aptitude which would then make the initial post valid still :p

What I meant was, what is the NTFS partition for? Is it simply a storage partition, or does the NTFS partition have Windows installed on it?

Is the NTFS partition a Windows installation? If so, try booting into that, defrag & clean shutdown, see if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately, that's the only thing I can think of currently

That's the exact same reason I use it :)

Thanks StolenPie! :D

I added that to the end of the first post :)

You probably need to use
sudo umount to unmount, so you'll have root privileges to do it :)



+1

Though as far as I'm aware, ntfs-3g is included as standard now. And you seem to have been...

Thanks :) I haven't got it set up anymore actually, I need to get it back, I still have the conkyrc somewhere :)

It's an application called conky - you can find a whole host of config files in this thread ;)

You mean the mount info on the ubuntu wiki?

I may have a look at that page sometime soon

It looks like it may be an unauthorized repository. Though I believe 7.10 reached EOL a few months ago, I could be wrong though

Thanks for the feedback :) Glad to know it's still working as written.

I'll have to make sure to review it for 9.10 :)

How do you mean? I believe the default nautilus option is to show mounted drives on the desktop - if they're not mounted, they won't show.



That's almost the EXACT same reason I wrote the guide...

My IP's changed since then - but I had realised that at the time. I was just too lazy to change the images ;)

Ah I believe in Jaunty it moves to System > Administration

I'll have to check later when I'm at home and edit the original post :)

You mean if you write a file to your Windows partition from Ubuntu, and then reboot into Windows - the file is no longer present?



Thank you :D Glad it still works

Does Ubuntu do a disk check every time you boot up? If not just allow it to do the disk check (I think the default is once every 25 boots), it doesn't take long :)

No worries, I hope it helped

Hit Alt+F2 and enter
gconf-editor

Once that has loaded up, you'll want to follow the menu's on the left down through apps > nautilus > desktop

Once you're there, you need to make sure "Show...

Is the 2nd hard drive NTFS formatted?

Now, I don't think there's any harm in using NTFS instead of FAT32, as ntfs-3g is pretty solid from what I've used of it.

Naturally, that would mean re-formatting your existing FAT32 partition, so...

Really? I've never used Ultimate Edition.



Thanks for confirming, I wasn't sure whether it was just something I'd done on my system :p

Easy is the way forward ;) Either that or I'm lazy :p

Thanks to this - I've never yet had to edit fstab :) That's why I love it :D
