You have to have the NTFS-3g (http://www.ntfs-3g.org) and Fuse (http://fuse.sf.net) installed. I do not remember about Dapper Drake or Edgy Eft , but the Fiest Fawn repos have all these packages. Just search for "fuse" in the Synaptic package manager and select fuse-utils, libfuse(devs), nrfs-3g. You should be done in 5 minutes , as I was :-D Thanks, Raseel http://screwgoth.blogspex.com >Similar problem happens with a SATA hard-drive with NTFS partitions. > >Any suggestions? > > >-- >Amit K Saha a.k.a tuxgeek >IRC:tuxgeek on Freenode >http://amitsaha.in.googlepages.com > > > >Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com
