Hi All,
I have been struggling to fix an issue whereby one of my NTFS drives does not appear as a location that can be mounted.

After a lot of great help from nikhilk, we worked out that the drive in question has been mounted twice somehow.

I was going to try disconnecting, but it occured to me that this might be something that was done by Wubi, to do it's clever stuff. (It's a Wubi install, I get very nervous about disk partitioning, and I am a big fan of the Wubi approach).

So the obvious question is, could this be something that Wubi needs?
