can't see partition

i have installed linux(ubuntu) on the hd of my asrock ion 330.
I have made seperate partitions for the os and my data(music etc)
Then i made the pc boot with xbmc using session for xbmc (from the wiki)


And now i cannot see my data partition(ntfs) from xbmc but when i go into ubuntu desktop i can.

Can anyone help me fix this?

and as a bonus question.. how can i make some folders on that partition available for other pc's(windows) in the same network?

I think the ntfs partition should be mounted under /media directory.
I think xbmc is "seeing" the devices mounted under /media.

In ubuntu, the partition is not mounted until you try reading it. Have you tried using it under ubuntu desktop, than going back to xbmc and see if it is there ?

If it is mounted under /media but xbmc does not see it you can still make a symlink to it in your homedir.

Do the following:

- In terminal:
ls /media

Check if you can see your partition here. Remember the name of the partition.

After that:

cd ~
ln -s /media/yourpartitionname

this creates a symlink to your partition which you can use in xbmc.

Thanks for your reply!
I can see the data-partition in ubuntu desktop and after i browse it i can also see the partition in xbmc....

But i was hoping to be able to see the partition in xbmc without having to exit xbmc, browse for the partition and then go back into xbmc

Mount it with fstab.
