Please help me mount my data HD

[Adhika Widjaya]

Hi Edgar,

Actually you don't need to reformat the drive if you still have some data
existed in that drive and you're willing to be able to read those data.

I suggest that you use the synaptic package manager to install the
*ntfs-3g*package. It might ask you to install other packages related
and needed by
this package, so what you need to do is just to let it install everything it
needs.

I hope this helps.
