How To: Reading Files From Windows Partition(NTFS) in Ubuntu Linux

How To: Reading Files From Windows Partition(NTFS) in Ubuntu Linux
The steps were as follows:

First open the root terminal. Then in Gnome you go to Applications->System Tools->Root Terminal

Once in the root account, you should run this command

# fdisk -l

If you’re not on the root account, precede each command with “sudo”, like this:

# sudo fdisk -l

The next step is to mount the hard drive (assuming that it is /dev/hda1) and put it in a directory:

# mkdir /media/windows
# mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

# cd /media/windows
# ls

If you need to unmount the partition, do this:

# umount /media/windows/

If you have trouble with any of this, or a step was unclear, please comment.
