    Anyone else using Ubuntu notice that it only mounts partitions part of the time? Until now, it was usually good at automatically mounting my Vista partition but I booted into my Ubuntu partition today and it gave me a error when I tried to mount it using the icon. It would give me a an error and then a error with no text. Here, I'll post a screenshot.

    It says I don't have permission but shouldn't it ask me for it? Unless it ran into some kinda of Vista safe guards or something. If it did, why does it only do it some of the time?

    Was your vista in hibernate mode?

    Linux doesn't mount the NTFS partition of windows is into hibernate mode, or suffered from an "unhealty" shutdown (when you get that screen on boot...)

    Let me check and I'll get back to you on that. Sounds like a likely suspect though.
