How to Mount an NTFS Partition in Debian
- 1). Open a new system terminal from the "Applications," then "Accessories," and finally "Terminal" menu.
- 2). Gather a list of partitions. Type "sudo fdisk -l" in the terminal screen and provide your system's root or administrator password.
- 3). Identify the Windows partition. If you labeled the partition, you can identify it by its name on "fdisk's" output. In dual boot environments, Windows will most likely be the first hard drive listed on "fdisk's" output.
- 4). Mount the partition. Type "sudo mount <partition> <destination> -t ntfs -r" in the terminal window and press "Enter."
- 5). Replace "<partition>" with the location of the partition on "fdisk" and destination with a folder you would like to use as the "mount point" for the disk.
- 6). Access the file system at the folder you created. If you listed the destination as "/home/deshawntay/mount_c," you would open the "/home/deshawntay/mount_c directory" to access your NTFS partition's files.
