I mounting my NTFS partition

I installed a new hard drive recently, a 320GB drive I formatted to NTFS.
How do I mount it?

/etc/fstab:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

Results of fdisk -l:

I believe it is that sdc5 that I want to mount.

I don't care about write access, I just want read access for all users. I don't really care what it is mounted as, for simplicity's sake, I'll go with /media/sdc5 as the mount point.

Hopefully that is enough info ^_^

Thanks

I mounting my NTFS partition

Thanks, using the link appolusionist posted (found here), I saw what I was doing wrong. XD

I needed to make the directory first.

So, using that, in the terminal I typed:

Code:

sudo mkdir /media/sdc5
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

then when gedit opened the file to edit I added the following at the end of it:

Code:

/dev/sdc5    	/media/sdc5 	ntfs 	nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0

And now I can read from that drive

Thanks, and hopefully this post can help someone in the future (and also help me remember what I did for future reference) ^_^
