Hello, Thanks for quick reply. I tried 1st command which you used to mount ntfs windows drives just now. I am still getting same error. I checked under /etc/mnttab & 1 previously mounted windows drive its showing. Remaining 2 drives I am not able to mount. Mysterious! Do I need to use ntfs3g command? Remaining 2 drives are extended partitions and NTFS FS. Any hints? I am having Windows XP Pro. May be a crazy thought not sure>>> is it because I have disabled "server" service under Windows XP? And also removed default windows sharing. Regards, Amey.
