You can't login as root, as in your password is no good, please re-enter it? Last time I checked, root was always allowed to login on /dev/console, unless you've used some unconventional warfare 
Try logging into your user account then using su...what's the exact error you're getting?

That's probably going to require editing /etc/fstab.jmh547 said:
Open up a terminal editor. Type in:
Code:
su -
Code:
emacs /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/fat32-drive /mnt/plcae-to-mount vfat umask=0000,user,rw 0 0
/dev/ntfs-drive /mnt/plcae-to-mount ntfs umask=0000,user,ro 0 0edit: you may also want to check out this guide (you can skip the kernel configuration section):

That's because you want umask=0000 not unmask=0000.jmh547 said:
I don't know. It might be.
You need to specify a partition on hdc. If you only have one partition, it's probably /dev/hdc1 that you need to specify.

Could you post your modified fstab plase?
/dev/sda1 is correct. Is /media/win_c a directory (as it should be)? What are the permissions on it?

If you run:
exactly what error message do you get? Did you check to see that it exists and is a directory?
Code:
mount /media/win_c- Thread Starter

win_c in there as a directory but it has a lock on it.
when i type mount /media/win_c into console i get "drive already mounted" type umount /media/win_c "drive not mount according to mtab".
i then unmounted the drive in root and tried to mount it in console and kde crashed.... so i mounted it in root and it says "drive already mounted according to mtab"
