gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
and then add something like this to the file (at the very bottom).
/dev/sda2 /media/Windows ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=<user>,gid=<user>,umask=022 0 1
where "/dev/sda2" is the name of your device. If you do not know the name of your device, the run the "df" command
when you have the windows partition mounted. It will show the list of all the mounted devices and there you can see the name of your windows partition as something like "/dev/sdaX" or similar.
Replace <user> by your username.
Hi, just to clarify on the line I add to the fstab file, would "/media/windows" be replaced with the drive name?
here's the output of df, with the line pertaining to my NTFS partition:
Code:
/dev/sda1 48837576 43720952 5116624 90% /media/2E94B9A794B97247
so like:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /media/2E94B9A794B97247 ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=<user>,gid=<user>,umask=022 0 1
With the appropriate user name in place?
Thanks.
