Ubuntu
realplayer package

real player 10 file system

Asked by Andrew

I have installed Ubuntu using wubi - its version 7.4
Real player is installed correctly (as far as I know) and works
However I have several hard drives RealPlayer only sees the Ubuntu drive - all my music is on another hard drive.
I can drag and drop the music but this is not so good.
How do I use RealPlayers 'select files' to open files on another drive.

Thanks
Andrew

Do you have ntfs-3g installed?

not sure - they were formatted using the operating system Windows XP so I guess its what ever formatting system Microsoft use. I can access the other drives using the Ubuntu/linux file system.
I can also drag the music file to the real player and drop it and it plays - I just cannot see the other drives through the real player open file command.

Sorry to be a bit vague!

Thanks
Andrew

Try installing the ntfs-3g package and then mounting the ntfs drives.

Can you help with this problem?
