Hi, I'm new using XBMC in my laptop, I had instaled it in a ext4 partition (/dev/sda6) and everything runs very well. I have to say that XBMC its perfect well almost perfect . I have a problem: my media files (music, images, videos) are in another ntfs partition (/dev/sda8) and I don't know how to add the files to my media library or how to mount it. How can I mount these partition at the start to see my files and import to my media library?

Another question: can I install the drivers of my wireless card? If it is possible, how? If it can not be possible, well the most important is mount the partition .

I appreciate all the help possible.

Thank's

Sorry, my english is not perfect at all.

I have my ntfs mounted in my /etc/fstab

the line for my ntfs drive looks like this

Code:

UUID=3FC1624A6DA7048F /mnt/1tb ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

my entire fstab looks like this

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=8ee3e8ab-33bb-481c-a298-09f435697277 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=6aebcb53-5d6e-4e4c-a1e8-e0fc40d759fd none            swap    sw              0       0
UUID=3FC1624A6DA7048F /mnt/1tb ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

I have my drive mounted to /mnt/1tb/ when I get a new driver it will be /mnt/2tb/ etc etc

not sure if usb drive monting is the same but I would think so

Hey !

Your english is just fine ;-)

make a directory in your home dir and call it for example mount (in this example i even made a subdir called localhdd), then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add this line :

/dev/sda8 /home/xbmc/mount/localhdd ntfs-3g user,auto,exec,utf8 0 0

that should make it mount with every boot.
Sorry I know nothing about wireless drivers though..

EDIT : damn, Flomaster beat me to the punch !

Oh my god... It works!!! Thank you so much gekados
Now I can see these partition mounted, and I can play the files. Now, another question: when I go to System>Music>Library>Import music Library I can't see the partition with the files, so How can I import properly the music to see a formal library?

About the drivers, well the most important is done . I will do a research about it later.

You can only import an existing library that way, not create a new one.
