    Because by using sudo mount you are trying to mount using the ntfs driver. Not the ntfs-3g driver which is stated in your fstab.

    terminal: man ntfs-3g

    and read the man page on how to properly mount the ntfs-3g driver.

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

    Help? When I typed 'sudo mount -a' I got back this:
    Code:
    sven@sven-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdg1,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    What's wrong?

    EDIT:
    Okay so I restarted now for both drives I get the error of Windows not shutting down properly. There's a problem though, the reason I'm ON linux (well, the reason I started) was because my Windows install borked. So I'm trying to back data up. So I CAN'T boot into Windows. What do I do now? D:

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

    Hi everybody, sorry for the repo failure, my host was down on saturday, and i was away this weekend, so i couldn't know it. Some guys proposed a mirror. I'm not against but not sure that it's really necessary. It's not like they release a version all the week. Anyway, if somebody want, he can pm me.

    @Solid1986Snake(about the space in the label):Oh yeah you're right. I didn't take this case in consideration. I could add it, but you have to past here the result of 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/' when you have a label with a space, i have nothing to test it right now.

    @telperion:Can't say. It seams to be a fuse bug. You should contact them on http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ and report your problem (the best is probably the mailling list) but that's quite a strange bug, i don't know why fuse an d vlc could intereact(until the media is not from a partition manage by fuse, but if it's an mms...).

    @DooXf course guy, and if some people want to traduce ntfs-3g-nautilus-tools, all language will be welcome.

    @BetaMaster:Unfortunatly this will not work since the partition need to be clean. If you want to backup data, you could use the normal driver (readonly) to copy them on CDs DVDs... An howto if you don't know how to have set an NTFS partition read only easily : http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows.php

    And a great thanks to domino for all the help.

    I tried with sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hdc1 /media/diskc and here is the error:

    Error getting information about /dev/hdc1: Input/output error
    Mount failed.

    Ok gregaS, here the problem:
    Code:
    /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc1 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    /dev/hdc5 /dev/hdc5 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    Like many newbie, you are confuse by the difference between device & mount point. /dev/hdc1 represent your device, but it's,it's could be explain as a link between your hardware and your system. But to browse it, you have to mount it on a director of your filesystem. That's why you have to mount on /media/<the name that you want> or whatever in your filesystel. But not in /dev /sys or /proc, because those direcory are virtual, they contain system files that are recreate at each reboot (they are not write in your HD)
    And don't forget to create the directory of your mount point.
    So in /etc/fstab, just remplace
    Code:
    /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc1 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    /dev/hdc5 /dev/hdc5 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    by
    Code:
    /dev/hdc1 /media/<what you want> ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    /dev/hdc5 /media/<an other one> ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    and before mounting them, create the directory:
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /media/<the first one>   /media/<the second one>
    and that's all.

    Nope. That didn't do it. It's still mount failed.

    Welcome back givré. I hope youu had a good weekend!

    i think GregaS has some vital information that he may be overlooking. Are you certain that you rebooted from windows properly? Have you in the past used a partition manager to partition/format the drive? If you did exactly whay givre (post #216) instructed with your fstab and created the directories in /media, I see no other cause. It may a malformed partition that fuse just doesn't understand.

    I've used partition magic to resize partition.

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

    There's your problem. 3rd party Partition Managers will often leave tiny blank sections that windows can't detect but Linux's ntfs and ntfs-3g drivers will. ALso, Linux gets confused if you move partitions around using these programs.

    Install, if you haven't do so, gparted or what ever they use in KDE and examine the partitions on the drive your ntfs partitions. Chances are that will prevent you from mounting the partitions properly. This also happens in Macintosh OS X.
