Hi,

I've done a PMI of 5.1.1 on a Dell PC running Windoze XP, to which I've added a second hard disk.

The folowing partitions exist:
hda1 - FAT (Dell 'hidden' partition)
hda2 - NTFS (Windows C:)
hda3 - FAT (Dell 'hidden' partition)
hda5 - NTFS (Windows E:)

hdb5 - NTFS (Windows F:)
hdb6 - FAT (Windows G:, used for knoppix.img: persistent home, etc.)

When I click on any of the icons on the desktop corresponding to NTFS partitions, I get a file browser for /cdrom instead.

Typing 'df -T' in Konsole gives:

Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root ext2 5887 927 4960 16% /

/dev/hda3 vfat 3663672 1908792 1754880 53% /media/hda3

... with multiple occurrences of /cdrom.

If I try to umount any of these partitions, I get:

'Could not unmount device. It seems /cdrom is mounted multiple times'

Any suggestions to be able to mount NTFS partitions correctly, and to be able ot access from desktop icons?

Many thanks,

Mike
