Mounting stubborn NTFS partition.

[binary]

Hi,

 

I have a probelm mounting one of my NTFS partitions. It only mounts if I manually mount it in the terminal by first creating a mount point folder then - sudo mount_ntfs /dev/disk1s5 /Volumes/Documents. Is there any way I can get this command to execute during bootup/startup so that I have access to it when I log on? via shellscript or whatever? I'll need a bit of a walk through if possible because I'm not overly familiar with unix files/commands.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Create a directory in /Volumes where you want to mount the partition (ex "Documents").

 

Then add the mount command in /etc/rc after:

 

echo "Mounting local filesystems"
mount -uw /
[ -f /etc/fstab ] && mount -vat nonfs

mount_ntfs /dev/disk1s5 /Volumes/Documents

Thanks,

 

 

How do I edit the rc file when the only one who can read and write to that file is the system? I tried editing it from windows, but I guess that screwed up permissions because it stopped booting and dropped me into root within the console.

 

Any further help is appreciated

You can edit the file as root.

Or type "sudo nano /etc/rc" and enter your password.
