    If you have real problem opening gedit, use nano instead
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/fstab
    That's less userfriendly but it will work for sure.
    You probably mess your .ICEauthaurity (i'll give you a tip if it's really that)
    Ok I am stuck then.
    The mkdir/....winders/etc/fstab command returns
    command not found.
    I quess I am entering it wrong in terminal ?

    You've already created /media/windowz directoy as mount point. You're supposed to edit /etc/fstab, not create one.

    it helps if winders is windowz and I pay a bit more attention.

    It's looks like your windows partion is not mounted. Try
    Code:
    sudo mount /dev/sda5

    Unhappy Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

    STOP Using ntfs-3g - if u don't want ur data corrupted
    i got my data corrupted by using ntfs-3g driver in Ubuntu ...

    i just wanted delete a directory in a ntfs partition and was prompted by nautilus that i can't delete a non-empty directory. however after deleting all files in that directoy, i found i still could not delete it and got an error. then i changed to windowsXP, also got similar errors when to delete, move or rename it.

    here's the error dialog box. it says "can't delete xxxxx(name of the directory): the file or directoy is mangled and can't be read. "

    maybe ntfs-3g really has "capable for unlimited file creation and deletion" ,but not for directory operation.

    sorry for my poor English

    Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

    @domino&Poka64 and for all other who want to try.
    I found by reading the man, that we can pass a debuging option to pmount, that will show how pmount call the mount function. That's could be very helpfull if you try that
    Code:
    pmount -d /dev/sd*
    and post here the output. You will see something like that
    Code:
    Filesystem: 'ntfs-3g'
    spawnv(): executing /bin/mount '/bin/mount' '-t' 'ntfs-3g' '-o' 'silent,async,atime,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007' '/dev/sda1' '/media/sda1'
    check that /media/sda1 does not exist. If it exist, delete it and retry.
    Thank you so much

    Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

    will do givré. In vista right now looking for an excuse to nuke it.

    @superiori,

    Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. These are my daily operations with ntfs-3g. I have an ext drive which i don't always have on and mounted. I have a 5gig FAT32 drive that I download all my hosting files and folders, hosting weekly backups, and a few hunder mb of torrents. When my 5gig FAT drive is filled, I move them to my ntfs ext drive. Before I move them, I delete old files and folders and replace them with the ones contained on the FAT32 partition. Not a single error so far. You can also look back a few pages and see benchmarks that were posted. I hope my luck continues.
