Won't let me do what you suggested

Open a Konqueror window and type media:/ in the "Location".

Working on the 3D update now. What about my problem viewing my NTFS drive? Any other suggestions there?

Gave me this...

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: can't find /dev/hda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Ok, open a Konsole window and run these two commands, then paste the results for me. If you aren't currently logged in as "root" (and you shouldn't be) then you will need to type "su" and enter your root password when prompted before you begin.

Code:

fdisk -l



cat /etc/fstab

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK     Change partition table

       fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK  List partition table(s)

       fdisk -s PARTITION           Give partition size(s) in blocks

       fdisk -v                     Give fdisk version

Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda

and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7

-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units

-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors

Also, still not getting the 3D option under hardware. it is greyed out even after the nvidia update install.

Ah, I'll bet you have to reboot FIRST. Bad instructions on my part.

I did reboot actually. Seemed obvious to me. I am trying to reinstall the nvidia patch now.

kate /etc/fstab

It will open an editor window with your fstab file open. Add this line to the end of the file:

Code:

/dev/hda5 /windows/D ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

Then save and exit Kate (the editor).

Now, from the command line run:

Code:

mkdir -p /windows/D

mount /windows/D

Let me know what that does.

This all seems so simple and straightforward. I just don't understand why more people wouldn't want to spend 3+ hours configuring the new OS on their computers and needing an "expert" to guide them along when things go awry.

...and last but not least...

5. F**K OFF, TROLL

[edit] While we're at it, when was the last time you had Windows, all your drivers, AND all your apps installed and patched in under 3 hours? That's right, NEVER. Feel free to never stop by again.[/edit]
