I intalled vista followed by a fresh install of hardy. The dual boot works, I made three partitions; 1 for vista, 1 for hardy and I kept one for documents and videos so that I can access it from any operating system (NTFS).
I can access it from vista but am having problems with hardy.
Suggestions please.

Run sudo blkid in terminal and post the output here. Also post the fstab here (/etc/fstab).

You could add to your /etc/fstab file:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
add:
UUID=1D8FD5F25AC0301F /media/Vista ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0
You can find your block id using, simply "blkid"
P.S.
Be sure you create the directory under /media to mount the NTFS partition (vista)

/dev/sda1: UUID="7CFCE2E8FCE29BA0" TYPE="ntfs"

and /ets/fstab is

The thing you should do is:
1) find that neutral partition in blkid and copy it's UUID
2) edit your fstab, add a line like this:
UUID=<UUID that you copied in first step> /media/Neutral ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000
(this will automatically mout that drive on system startup)
