Filling my Technological Void|Learning to Adapt to new Technology…… The Hard Way.

Although I use Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on this system I have access to another computer which dual boots into Windows XP and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon . I noticed that the ntfs partition was not mounted by default and I wanted to be able to mount it in case I ever wanted to access the information in it.

I found out that doing this in Ubuntu was way too easy . In order to do the above all you need to do is to use the following commands.
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
sudo ntfs-config

If you’re insistent on not using the terminal you could of course install the package through synaptic and then run it by going to Applications > System Tools > NTFS configuration Tool. Once you do this you should get a similar interface as shown below.

Now you can select the partition you want from the list and then click on Apply. Which should give you the next screen.

If you want write support select it and now you should be able to see your new drive mounted. Now wasn’t that easy enough.
