[ubuntu-uk] Mounting Windows Partition

[Dave Briggs]

Hi, me again guys. Sorry for bombarding the list like this...

I want to mount my Windows partition so that I can copy all my photos
and music across. I found the instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yhhcsp
and have followed 'Method 1' - but nothing seems to be happening.

Here are the steps I've taken.

dave at dave-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Password:

Disk /dev/hda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1         493     3959991   12  Compaq
diagnostics
/dev/hda2   *         494       14147   109675755    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3           14148       23967    78879150   83  Linux
/dev/hda4           23968       24321     2843505    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           23968       24321     2843473+  82  Linux swap /
Solaris

dave at dave-desktop:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow

# /etc/pmount.allow
# pmount will allow users to additionally mount all devices that are
# listed here.
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda2

But when I go into 'Computer' the Windows partition just isn't there,
even after rebooting, so I can't mount them.

Any ideas?
