http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I have installed Ubuntu with an extra FAT 32 partition but I have chosed its mount point to be /windows and yesterday I have booted my pc with Active@ boot disk and formatted the partition to NTFS. Now it is without mount point (this is what I want) Now when I am booting, it stops and ubuntu tells me that it can not mount /windows partition and I have to press S button to skip mounting. When the boot is complate I can mount and use the NTFS partition. How can I tell the partition changes to ubuntu? sudo fdisk -l Device Boot Start End Blocks Id Sys (Hardware)

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 using a Live CD to a new Gateway computer with Windows 7. I used "Install Alongside Windows" option. But on restart there was no boot menu. It only starts into Windows.

This simple and brief tutorial is going to show you how to automatically mount Windows 7 and other ntfs partitions in Ubuntu 12.10. It’s easy to use NTFS Configuration tool to make Ubuntu auto-mount Windows 7 dual-boot partition. First search for and install ntfs-config package in Ubuntu Software Center.

Then hit Ctrl+Alt+T, copy and paste this command into terminal and hit enter to run: su

I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.

Yesterday I decided to convert my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition to Ext4 since my exposure to Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.

This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.

So I dual booted Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x64 with my Windows 7 laptop. I have it burned to a dvd, so I booted the CD, selected to try Ubuntu, then installed inside the "trial" environment. I installed the boot partition as sda6 as /boot, then my root partition was sda7 as /, I made another partition for my home on sda8 as /home. I then made a 4gb swap partition.

I have had this problem for a little while now and have read a few articles and threads but as of yet have not got very far. I thought it would be best to get guidance for my problem from the start. Having followed a tutorial I got into my preferences and it says that auto-mounting is still enabled.

Before I upgraded to 11.2 I could normally mount my NTFS partition from an external harddrive no there is this error:

Hello all,I've just put crunchbang on a laptop that was previously running Windows 7.  I made a 100GB NTFS partition from Windows to back all the data, then installed crunchbang on the remaining 400GB partition.Unfortunately, it turns out that I cannot mount the Windows 7 created NTFS partition because it is "LDM" (dynamic) partition and ntfs-3g cannot mount them.Is there anoth
