I'm dual booting 9.10 and XP SP3. With my first user on Ubuntu that I created with install, I can access the XP partitions, with my second user, I can't. I see them in the /media folder, but I can't mount them as the second user. What am I missing?

You can't mount the partition twice -- once for each user -- you can only mount it once. Are you unmounting before trying the second mount?

I assumed I was, since I was logging out as one and logging in as the other. Is there some otherway to access the Windows file system in Ubuntu that won't be such a pain if I need to go back and forth between users?
