Line 1: Line 1:
 * Create a mount point (directory) from where the parition will be accessed. Default for Ubuntu is to create all filesystem mount points in the /media directory.{{{
mkdir /media/partitionname}}}
 * Mount the right partition to this mount point. Partitions are all found under /dev, and are labeled ''hd'' (common harddisk) or ''sd'' (SCSI or SATA harddisk) plus ''a'', ''b'', etc for the physical harddisk number, plus ''1'', ''2'', etc for the partition-number. On a multiboot system, the Windows C-partition can commonly found as /dev/hda1.
  * FAT partitions can be mounted with {{{
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/partitionname -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000}}}
  * NTFS partitions can be mounted with {{{
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/partitionname -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222}}} Note that you can only read from NTFS partitions, not write to them.
 * To automatically mount partitions at boot-up, edit the file /etc/fstab and add the following line for each FAT partition:{{{
/dev/hda1 /media/partitionname vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0}}} or for NTFS partitions:{{{
/dev/hda1 /media/partitionname ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0}}}
