1.	Solve : Finding NTFS External drive with Ubuntu?
Answer» I have a NTFS External drive but Ubuntu will not find it. Can anyone tell how to go about to GET Ubuntu to read it. Ojassudo apt-get install ntfs-3g Note: You should also be a member of the fuse group to use ntfs-3g. Find out the name of your ntfs partition: sudo fdisk -l Method 1: In this example, the NTFS drive is listed by fdisk as /dev/sda2, but yours may differ. Make a mount point for the drive: sudo mkdir /media/WindowsNTFS Edit fstab: sudo nano /etc/fstab Comment out the automatically added LINES by Ubuntu installation: #/dev/sda2 auto nouser,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #/dev/sda2 /mnt auto USER,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 and instead add the line: /dev/sda2 /mnt/WindowsNTFS ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0 please me know of it works for you, Regards [link removed]
