How do I mount an ntfs Drive

[gold_finger]

Try tutorial again, but make sure you reboot (not shutdown) when done.  Just as insurance reboot into Windows first, check the settings again to see if they remain as you changed them in tutorial.  If yes, then reboot into LL and try mounting partition again.  If it still doesn't work, describe exact procedure you used to try mounting the partition.  I'm assuming you are just clicking on its entry shown in file manager under "Devices" section.  Is that what you're doing, or are you trying to mount in some other way?


EDIT:  Just as I was about to post, I see firenice03 posted this:

Just to add.... and assuming its still showing hibernating...
Windows must be shut down (not restarted)...

I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember reading just the opposite of this -- that Windows needs to be rebooted instead of shutdown when disabling Fast Startup.  (Just the opposite when enabling Fast Startup -- shutdown instead of reboot.)  I could be wrong about that though.


@ anon,
Try it both ways just to cover all bases.
