[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 522015, member: 199791"] I had some similar hard drive mount problems in Kubuntu, and it turned out that I didn't have permission to use them, but after fiddling with the "Disk and filesystems" under the Advanced tab in the System Settings, I got the NTFS partitions on my Laptop's HDD to work in Kubuntu properly, I'd like to explain how, but my Laptop's HDD is in my laptop and no longer used in my Kubuntu PC, my mind's like a seive so I've forgotten how, but it's pretty simple once you work it out... :) But I love Kubuntu, it works practically out of the box, just install it and use it, no faffing with drivers and software, it just works, even the WiFi on my laptop worked instantly (and that was just in the Live preview!!!), I have used Ubuntu and have a boxful of the older Breezy Badger version, but it's Kubuntu I like the best, so much infact I've got a hard drive for my laptop with it on.. :D I wanted to try BackTrack on my laptop, but the BIOS doesn't support booting off USB devices bar a USB Floppy drive so couldn't boot off my 1GB stick... :( I did notice though that there's an ISO creator facility though, but as the image is on my Kub PC I can't access it at the moment... :( [/QUOTE]
