Access NTFS Partitions from Linux

Posted by ipp in Other, tags: , ,

Making the move from Windows to Linux can be a tough one, especially if you have a hard time moving your data. Here is a way to access your NTFS Windows partition from a standard distro of linux, such as ubuntu.

  1. Open a terminal and su to root

    2. sudo su

  2. Find the NTFS Partition

    3. fdisk -l

  3. Create a place to mount your NTFS Partition

    4. mkdir /mnt/windows

  4. Mount the NTFS Partition, in my example the NTFS partition is on /dev/hda1.

    5. mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

  5. Test that you can read it

    6. ls /mnt/windows
