NTFS read and write to Windows partition

[clem]

for the lazy people who want more "out of the box"ing and less flexibility, the procedure is a bit simpler:

Install mintdisk

I "think" Ubuntu 7.04 is looking at including ntfs-config... we've basically been working on the same thing here When it comes out I'll review it. If it's better it will replace mintDisk. If it's not, we'll take the good things out of it to make mintDisk even better.

I have mintdisk, and I am allowed to read things off of my external ntfs hard drive, but I am not allowed to write anything onto it or delete anything off of it. Is that normal? Is there anything that can be done so that I might be able to write and delete without getting really bogged down with command line stuff?

I hope i dont disturb anyone by replying to this that "late".
But you can use

Code: Select all

sudo mount -a -o force

to do a forced mount of all the drives without rebooting.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Where can I get mintdisk? I can't find it anywhere.
