or, another way (from the terminal) would be to install the ntfs-3g package:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
then create a mountpoint:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/windows
then figure out which drive is your windows drive:
which should return something like this:
Code:
geza@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Password:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 12158 97659103+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 12159 15197 24410767+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 30274 30401 1028160 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4 15198 30273 121097970 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
geza@ubuntu:~$
Then find the line saying HPFS/NTFS (shown in bold), and take the value under "device" (in this case /dev/sda1 which is shown in bold) and substitute it into the bold portion in this command:
Code:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windows
then you should be able to access it at /media/windows, when done, simply unmount using:
Code:
sudo umount /media/windows
