Solved: Mounting NFTS Problems
I'm trying to use my Ubuntu
(Feisty Fawn)
set-up to move files from one HD to another. One of them was showing up but not the other. So I installed NTFS-3g through Automatix and now the other drive is not showing up but the one that was is no longer. I keep getting "You are not privileged to mount this volume" and the same when I try to change permissions. I am pretty much a very amateur Linux user, I know very little command line & what I do know is not helping me at all.

You need root privilege (admin right in Windows) to mount a partition.
That privilege is given to you if you type this command at the terminal
Code:
sudo su
This is the way the Ubuntu family prefers.

Thanks for helping, although I went an alternate route. I did what you said which nothing happened so I tried mounting it through the terminal & it told me that the NTFS drive was not clean since I had force quit Windows before so once i went in, and shut down Windows regularly it showed up mounted when my machine started.
