Public bug reported:
The kubuntu-installer (from the live-desktop-cd, feisty herd5) mounts
ntfs-partitions to /media/devicename (e.g. /media/hda1).
It is not straightforward to change this mountpoint - the only
possibility is to change the partition type temporarily to ext3 (or xfs
or whatever) so that the mountpoint can be changed (e.g.
/media/windows). After changing the partition type back to ntfs
everything works fine.
A simple and minor bug which should be easily fixable.
Btw: Wouldn't it be nice if windows partitions would be bound to
/media/windows (1, 2, 3, etc.) by default, so that new users wouldn't be
puzzled by these cryptic device names?
