Thread: I can't mount the main filesystem

i have ubuntu , windows installed on computer, , need folders have on windows , mount main hard drive. it's telling me "not authorized"

what's that?

you need mount root privileges; open terminal , run:

code:

sudo fdisk -l

that's lowercase "l" btw; print list filesystems, identify windows 1 , use information run:

code:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 -o defaults /mnt/

this mount filesystem /mnt directory , let use normally; if don't want every time want access it, edit fstab file gets auto-mounted when log in.
