    problem reading ntfs

    Hi!

    I have a problem for reading my ntfs partition. (I just want to read not write, I know this is possible)

    I get /mnt/hda1 but it's empty....
    What should I do?

    Config: Toshiba satellite laptop/knoppix 3.2 hdinstall

    Thank you for your precious help

    OK so you do something like this:

    mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
    cd /mnt/hda1
    ls


    If the drive mounted without errors you should see something there.

    okay it worked! I can now access my ntfs partition.

    I logged on as root to mount. Now I can't figure out how to give my user account the right to read hda1. I tried (as user) right click on hda1>properties>read +I checked the "apply to subfolders" box but that didn't work..

    Thanks for helping a newbie

    user cannot change permissions unless user owns whatever you're trying to change permissions on. Try it as root.

    OH I was wrong to write "(as user)"in my previous message. I tried as root to change permissions for my user account to be able to access my hda1 (ntfs partition).
    Sorry I was probably tired but I really don't know how to change permissions even as root..I tried again with a right click on the hda1 >properties>permissions but it still doesn't work

    Thanks again for your help

    Try as root in a console window chown user_name.user_name /mnt/hda1 to change the permission to the user for the partition.

    I tried and I first tought it worked because the hda1 permissions checkboxes had been checked but I couldn't see any subfolder..

    Is there something else to try?

    Thank you
