Live CD did not prevent an error-> bad mount containing space

Asked by (4M)Stephen

I Already have ntfs-config installed and it works. I have 2 windows drives, one is mounted as /media/Media which I can use, the other is the windows xp operating system mounted at /media/Windows
The problem is when I installed ubuntu I told it to mount as /Windows XP/ as a result it mounts as /Windows/ and does not show any files...

I tried unmounting the windows drive and renaming it in the device manager with no luck. Any suggestions? Easy fix? I frankly love the terminal so bring on the commands if it can be done that way.

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the question.

Could you please paste the contents of your /etc/fstab file?

Thanks.

So I figured out from that much to change this:

# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=BCE0FDDBE0FD9C38 /media/Windows XP ntfs 0 0

to

# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=BCE0FDDBE0FD9C38 /media/Windows ntfs 0 0

is there some kind of refresh from there? how do I get it to work right?

I tried this:
stephen@fanthia:~$ sudo mount -a
fusermount: mountpoint is not empty
fusermount: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
FUSE mount point creation error: No such file or directory
Unmounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/F130118E17F875C2 (Media)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/disk/by-uuid/BCE0FDDBE0FD9C38,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so

so what now? reboot xserver?

the reason it is mounting as /Windows/ rather than /Windows XP/ is because of that space you have there - try removing it...

try changing

UUID=BCE0FDDBE0FD9C38 /media/Windows XP ntfs 0 0

to

UUID=BCE0FDDBE0FD9C38 /media/WindowsXP ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1

to remount all your drives issue this command in your terminal

sudo mount -a

try that and let us know how it goes
