Can't access NTFS partitions - get /cdrom instead
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/hda2 fuseblk 713064 713064 0 100% /cdrom
/dev/hda5 fuseblk 713064 713064 0 100% /cdrom
/dev/hdb5 fuseblk 713064 713064 0 100% /cdrom

/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
