I asked a similar question earlier but now that I'm so close I've decided so ask another question.

I followed this exact tutorial:

* cd /mnt
* sudo mkdir windrive
* sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windrive -o “umask=022?
* ls windrive

3. You should now a list of files from your Windows hard drive in the Terminal window. If you want a more graphical view of the files then do the following


Except I don't get a list of anything, I type ls windrive, press enter but nothing happens. What gives?
 
1. Did you get any error messages when you ran any of those 4 commands; especially the third command. ?

2. What output do you get if you type the command
mount
after those 4 commands?

3. If you get no output after those commands, what output do you get if you type the command
pwd

4. What output do you get if you type the command
ls /mnt/windrive
Or you need to cd to the windrive directory to use it:
cd /mnt/windrive
ls windrive
Good luck


I assume you know the correct password required when running a command with sudo and provided the correct one.
