Hard Drive Problems

Hi, Can you post the output from the command 'sudo fdisk -l'.

Thanks, Dave.

Hello !

Could you also post the content of your /etc/fstab file ?

Thanks and regards,
Benoît

Hi thanks for the help. The output for the 'sudo fdisk -l' is:

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5174 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Disk /dev/hdc: 41.1 GB, 41174138880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5005 cylinders

And this is what my /etc/fstab file showed:

That's it. Thank You

Hello !

In fact, your /etc/fstab seems almost OK, but I think you should replace "utf8" by "iocharset=utf8" in the line for hdc4. Also check that you have a folder /share (but I guess it's already done).

Hope this solves the problem.

Regards,
Benoît
