I installed Storage Device Manager and can't automount my Windows 7 partition. It doesn't show up in Storage Device Manager. When I mount the partition, it comes up as /media/286CC2A6397A0F2A instead of sda# like normal drives.

I'm using Debian Squeeze XFCE along with Windows 7 as dual boot on my notebook. I want to access my Windows 7 partitions from Debian for both reading and writing. I was a Ubuntu user in which the Windows partitions were visible by default. I want to know how to mount the drives used by Windows 7 automatically on startup.

There seems to be no documentation on how to automount partitions and USB devices under systemd in Jessie. (Overall, systemd entirely lacks any useful documentation or GUI configuration tools -- all very cryptic and hidden.)
I created custom files to enable automounting. I put them in /etc/systemd/system -- this may not be the right place, but it works.
Kernel note:
This does not work under the old Wheezy kernel linux-image-3.2.0-4.
To automount my Windows partition so I can access its files, I created:
/etc/systemd/system/media-windows.mount
The name of the file must match the mount point -- in this case, /media/windows
My file notes the device and file type, plus an fmask option so all the Windows files don't seem to be executable:
[Unit]
Description = windows mount to /media/windows
[Mount]
What=/dev/sda1
Where=/media/windows
Type=ntfs-3g
Options=fmask=111
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The file ownership must be root.root. Apparently it doesn't need to be executable.
After creating, enable with:
sudo systemctl enable media-windows.mount
and it will mount on the next boot.
I read elsewhere that the before running the enable command you should run a start command:
sudo systemctl start media-windows.mount
but that didn't work for me.
After a new Fedora 12 installation, i cannot automount my Windows partition. My system is setup originally at windows XP ,partitioned, then change to Fedora 10. Change to Fedora 11 through update.System very slow.
I decided to upgrade to fedora 12 by DVD installer, then i have to mount manually to access my back-up, when typing su -c '/sbin/fdisk -l' at terminal, this is the code:
I know how to automount ntfs, what I don't know is how to automount a 2nd ext4 partition. I know I can use code...
What am I doing wrong? Also how can I read and write to and form the root of the partition with out opening it as root?
This is not the partition I have ubuntu installed on, this is a 2nd partition.
i recently deleted a NTFS partition while ubuntu was running and didnt disable the automount and when i tried to restart from what i can see it is trying to mount the partition which does not exist. When booting it says something to the effect of mounting dev/sda5 (which is now ubuntu) NTFS signature incorrect, what file must i change to allow ubuntu to boot because i kind of dont want to reinstall ubuntu and reconfigure it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my computer for the last couple of years I have been running Ubuntu and Windows XP in a dual boot system. Due to some unsolvable problems in Ubuntu, I decided to try out Fedora. I created a third partition on my computer and into this partition I installed Fedora. Now when I boot my computer I can either run Fedora or Windows XP. Eventually, I plan to get rid of Ubuntu completely. But for now the Ubuntu partition is still on my hard disk; I can't boot up with Ubuntu anymore, and that's OK. I don't need to run Ubuntu, but I would like to be able to access the Ubuntu partition, since there are files there that I want to keep.
At least I want to be able to read and write to the files in Ubuntu. How can I automatically mount the Ubuntu partition so that I can work with its files from Fedora?
I'm pretty sure that to get the Ubuntu partition to mount, I need to enter some lines into the etc/fstab file. Does anyone know what I should enter into Fedora's etc/fstab file so that the Ubuntu partition will be mounted?
In my Ubuntu installation the partition is named DiskF, it is partitioned in the ext3 file system. In Fedora when I look at /media/DiskF, it is empty.
When I run [code] blkid in a terminal here is the output:
What are the commands that I need to put in /etc/fstab so that when I boot my computer in Fedora DiskF will be mounted?
My Lucid LTS Ubuntu Studio 64 (amd) won't boot anymore; / and /home each are software raid 0 partitions.
I have a Multimedia partition (also ext 4) which I attempted to chmod with a GUI program (I forget what its called now) to enable all users read/write access. Looks like I inadvertantly fstabed that partition to be mounted at boot-time (normally my password was required in order to mount it).
I tried to logging out and back into my OS to see if the partition was now writable but it wasen't; instead a filesystem error was noted. I realised then that my partition was IMPROPERLY labelled and I was in a tired state and didn't remember how to rename it & rebooted to make sure all was ok. But it was not:
An error occured when mounting /media/Ubuntu unknown filesystem type "Multimedia"
mountall: mount /media/Ubuntu [1334] terminated with status 32
mountall: filesystem could not be mounted /media/Ubuntu
Boot: recovering journal
From my generic Ubuntu system on a non raid partition, I finally removed the space in the 'offending' partition: Ubuntu Multimedia to UbuntuMultimedia. And I changed the permissions for it. But if I try to boot Ubuntu Studio via recovery; booting in low res is unusable, and it gets stuck if I SKIP mounting. So I am left with manual boot or drop to a shell. I will have to use an editor like vi or nano and the command prompt. I know that I likely only have to comment out a line in /etc/fstab but I am only familiar with nautilus or gedit for this type of operation. And since this OS is on a raid partition its not 'seen' on the live CD..I would need someone to offer me clear steps to follow with the non gui editors otherwise I'm in trouble... I just wanted to use that partition for video editing and now I am locked out of my system!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Fedora 13 (the KDE spin). It detects correctly my other NTFS partitions and will mount them perfectly if I click on it using Dolphin.
I would like to mount one of them automatically after booting (or logging in, doesn't matter). My first idea - and supported by a coulple of Google searches and previous threads - was to put them on on /etc/fstab.
But to my complete surprise they aren't there. Where does Dolphin (or KDE) keeps information about partitions? How to set them to automount? Also, fstab refers to my linux partitions as UUIDs not the device names - how does this work?
What should I do to set a NTFS partition to automount on Fedora 13?
I have a specific NTFS partition on a USB drive that I wish to enable execute support for. The only way I've found to do this is to add the partition in /etc/fstab with a umask. This poses some problems:
1. Only root can mount it, making it a pain to mount (open terminal, `sudo mount (path from /etc/fstab)`, enter password, close terminal).
2. The system will hang at start if the UUID is unavailable (or, the external disk is unplugged). I run several servers from my machine, so if I do a remote restart it will not come back up because of the hang.
Is there a way to specify to FUSE (which I believe is the handler for auto-mounting in Nautilus) that this partition should have execute access to files?
For whatever reason /dev/sda3 (at /tydelik) does not mount itself (like all the other partitions) when the system reboots.
In YaST's expert partitioner it says that:
Quote:
An asterisk (*) after the mount point indicates a file system that is currently not mounted (for example, because it has the noauto option set in /etc/fstab).
Here is the /etc/fstab :
Quote:
I don't see a noauto option. Is it hiding somewhere?
Also, if I say the following then it seems that /dev/sda3 is ext2 and not ext3 (as YaST says).
Quote:
Firstly, how do I specify /dev/sda3 to be mounted by default (because I thought it would unless there is a noauto specified), and secondly, why is YaST not showing the same settings as when I say "mount" ?

I have encrypted a partition while installing Fedora 13, and I need to disable its automount - I will mount those manually.
But even though I commented out the corresponding line in /etc/fstab, I am still asked for the passphrase for the partition at startup.
How to completely disable this behaviour - and how to mount the partition manually afterwards?
First off I'm new to the openSUSE community and would just like to say So, to the issue at hand. I recently switched to openSUSE 11.4 from Debian. I noticed the setup didn't have an option encrypt the home folder like it does in Debian, so not being aware of any other way to encrypt it, I created a new partition, backed up my current home directory, created a new partition and mounted it as home before copying in the contents of the backup to the encrypted home partition I created. Now of course it is askingme to put the crypto password in at each boot, which isn't ideal because it's a family machine and no-one would remember the password but me. Is there any way of being able to automount the encrypted partition without having to put the key in every time? Or better yet an encrypted home folder that doesn't require the key to be put in on each login (as in Debian) without even using a dedicated partition.

I've recently installed ubuntu 10.04 on a machine with MS Vista. Initially, I decided to use a fat32 partition (mounted at /windows) for storage of files used by both Ubuntu and Vista. Then, I saw that Ubuntu can read/write on NTFS partitions, so I deleted my fat32 disk space.
Now, Ubuntu tries to mount that partition and during the boot of the Gnome environment, it says that /windows cannot be mounted. If I press S (skip), the desktop can be loaded normally but I would like to delete all references to that partition.
Now however its not letting me resize the Windows partition, mounted or unmounted. It currently occupies the whole disk. I would rather not reinstall the whole thing over again, but I will if I have to. Isnt there an easy way to shrink a Windows partition? I swear Ive done this before and it wasnt this hard. Could it be a problem with the Mint installer that now asks me if I want to unmount my disks before it goes into install mode? On this PC I would like to have
Windows XP
Mint
Ubuntu-Studio
Edubuntu
One of the E17 OSs
Puppy Linux (to create a remix)
I am probably going to put most of the linux partitions on the second laptop drive but I want to install files on a non WIndows NTFS partition.
I got tired of dual booting on my old computer so on the new computer I am planning to run XP on VMware Player. The problem is that on the new computer neither Ubuntu or XP can "see" the FAT32 partition. I intend to use the FAT32 partition for photo images and old Windows files and need access from both Ubintu and XP.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.
I am currently running a dual boot machine with Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows Vista.Is there any way I can delete the Linux partition and Grub boot loader without affecting the Windows partition at all?I would also like to be able to repartition all of the space that was previously occupied by Linux.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTwo days ago I repartitioned my laptop HD and added the latest Ubuntu (2.6.35-25-generic) to the existing Vista and existing Ubuntu (2.6.32-28-generic via upgrades from 9.14(?)). Prior to this install it was using Grub with menu.lst from the old/upgrade Ubuntu. After the install the boot menu labels the partition with Vista as the Windows Recovery partition and the recovery partition item is no longer present.
At first I wondered how I could get Vista to boot. I found that SuperGrub cd would boot it OK. Then, it dawned on me that the boot menu item was not the recovery partition, but instead the Vista OS partition mislabelled . Vista loads just fine from it. The recovery partition is no longer listed as it was with Grub/menu.lst. SuperGrub will not boot the recovery partition, showing an error "missing BOOTMGR".
'os-prober' produces--
root@Toshiba:/home/deh# os-prober
/dev/sda2:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda7:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (10.04):Ubuntu:linux

I edited boot/grub/grub.cfg so the boot menu item is labelled correctly, but suspect that it will revert back when there is an upgrade.
i have instaled ubuntu 11.04 wubi on my pc with windows 7. i installed and everything was going ok i navigate on ubuntu already. but the problems star here i went on my ubuntu to the partition section and i format my windows partion to be the home partion and changed the nfts to ext, i did the upgrades but i forgot that theyr running yet and i restart my computer when it boot again it gaves me an error:
try (0,0) : nfts5 : wubildr
try (0,1) : ext2 :
and the windows7 says that i have to instal again. so i went to another pc and i made a cd boot and a pen boot. i burned the iso (downloaded from the ubuntu oficial site the 11.04 32 bit version) image to the cd and pen drive prperly, i adjust my boot options to star from usb or cd rom and nothing im struck.
Trying to install Ubuntu (any atm) on my father's HP destop. When i install, the partition manager wont allow me to shrink the windows partition to fit ubuntu in, and when i go to gparted to do it manually, it says that there are damaged sectors. is there a way to force ubuntu to install?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my girlfriend's lenovo using a live disc. First we tried it out to show her the wireless would work fine (her previous lenovo was not ubuntu friendly at all). She's interested in keeping her windows 7 partition along with the lenovo recovery partition, so I tried doing a dual boot install. I manually moved the cursors setting the disk space on each partition, and we allowed Ubuntu to do the rest. Much to my dismay, the installation failed.
I've done some reading over the internet, and I think in our case it would be best to use a Wubi installation. We're interested in using 10.04, so where can we find a wubi installer of Ubuntu 10.04?
Also, any ideas why the installation might have failed? The iso was downloaded off the ubuntu main site, and we burned it using infrarecorder.

I have a 60 g internal laptop hard drive, 30g is Windows 7 and 30g is Ubuntu.

Is there a simple way I can get the ubunutu partition to show up>
i am following the installation process and its very unclear whether or not a dual boot will occur and how i can make a partition of the free space available from my windows partition etc....i dont want to go through the process and find myself losing all my data and my windows partition i also cant seem to select a partition less than 86% of the total capacity of hdd so im def sure they're not taking my dual boot desires into consideration.
