I've been unable to recreate this using a Kubuntu i386 Live CD dated 20091020 with an NTFS partition. The partition is automatically mounted and I am able to browse it just fine.
In the description of the bug report there is mention of an "error message that is useless". What exactly is that error message? Additionally, what filesystem is your Windows XP partition? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Karmic Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- [kubuntu] 9.10 Will not read Windows XP HDD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
