http://askubuntu.com – I wanted to auto-mount all the partitions in my system, (i.e. the C,D,E and F drives from windows). I used ntfs config tool to do that, but it throws me an error when I check the mount selection for my C drive, the one that has Windows installed on it. Now, I´ve lost complete access to my Windows Partition, I cannot open it in Nautilus either, though I could do that before I used ntfs config tool. Its throwing me this error Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /media/Windows\040 mount failed What should (HowTos)
