internal NTFS partiton help - thecheekymonkey - 2008-12-19
OK, i have searched and not found an answer to my problem, although have found similar threads.
so here goes.
ive now set myself up with a nice new media center, i have an internal 750 gig hdd, i have got my file system layed out as such.
xbmc fat 32 part
linux swap
ext3
NTFS 650 gig partition
ive done this by cloning a smaller hdd that had my original xbmc live linux install onto it.
the system loads up and is perfect except i cannto see my NTFS partition, i have tried a few things in other threads i have found, but am unable to `mount` it?
bit of a linux newb, but does anyone know if this is possible? i just want to automount my ntfs partition where all my alread 90% filled videos / photos are etc etc
or would an ubuntu install > xbmc option be better?
thanks for any help

followed this guide and substituted the relevant parts for my own info
all auto mounts now, got my sounds saved (volume levels), xbox 1 remote all sorted, just sort my LCD out and jobs a goodun
)EDIT : the only real bit i had to do different, was instead of using the "Gedit" command, i had to use "nano" instead, as gedit inst included in xbmclive
