Hello, I've got Debian Lenny since last year and during the "getting used to Linux"process I kept the old WinXP partition (well, it stills there). So, now I've got my disk with two OS (Windows XP Professional, Linux Debian Lenny).
When I did it, I included a line in fstab file with the following, in order to always mount the WinXP partition. * # /etc/fstab: static file system information # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> ... /dev/hda1 /media/windows/C ntfs-3g rw,locale=en_GB.utf8,uid=1000 0 0 ... * It works fine, but, today I came across with something. I left WinXP hibernating and checking in console WinXP partition is not mounted. I tried to mount it manually *#mount /media/windows/C* but here is the result *Failed to mount '/dev/hda1': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows properly, so mounting could be done safely. *Why could not this be done safely?
