If no, do that. Then go to menu Applications > System Tools, and start NTFS Configuration Tool. Check "Write Support" (you want that anyway for Thunderbird). Do they mount automatically (at least on login) now? Maybe even on boot? Because my internal NTFS partitions are put into fstab, with lines like this: # Entry for /dev/sda1 : UUID=BE78C8C778C87F9F /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0\ 1 # Entry for /dev/sda5 : UUID=3C38FEDA38FE91DE /media/sda5 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0\ 1 (Your UUIDs will be different, of course) </pre> </blockquote> Thanks for the link, Mario. I had ntfs-config in previous versions, but this is a complete new install. I also thought we weren't supposed to use it any more. Silly me for believing the hype. I'll install, set it up, reboot, and then let you know if it works. Mark </body> </html>
