Ubuntu was working fine; but then...

[M4A1]

How do you view the contents in it though? It doesn't allow me to "Browse"

The folder contents could not be displayed.

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hda1".

I am an administrator on both OSes. It's my own laptop.

Try putting some entry into your fstab file and remount it. Of course in Ubuntu you always have to do sudo?

But first make the directory

mkdir /mnt/hda1

The fstab file is in /etc/ directory

Add a line similar to this if your hard drive is NTFS and recognize as hda1 at the end of the line.

then edit the fstab file, use your favorite editor.

/dev/hda1	      /mnt/hda1        ntfs    noauto,rw,users,umask=022    0 0

press enter twice and leave a blank line at the end of the file.

then mount it

mount /dev/hda1

or remount it if it's already mounted

mount -o remount /dev/hda1

if you want the drive to mount everytime when you boot, just remove the noauto

/dev/hda1	      /mnt/hda1        ntfs    rw,users,umask=022    0 0

From Windows to Linux..I'm not sure if you could read reiserfs on a Windows machine though.
