Installation issues / Re: How can you get an external NTFS HD to work? (Read Only)
« on: February 10, 2008, 10:41:47 pm »
switch into Kubuntu mode and try the following in a terminal.
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb? ? being the drive number specific to your external drive.
I'm not entirely aware of your specific set up but if your dual booting with an MS os you can also boot it up twice and that should do it as well. 1 other possibility a likely one is that it's set to root access only you change that by selecting the drives properties the clicking the permissions tab and change the permissions to user level access make sure you check the include sub folders option when you do this as well .
Hope that helps ...
