Hello,

You have to use NTFS-config
Applications/System/NTFS-config

OR : In terminal : sudo NTFS-config

After this, in a window that appears, type a name for your NTFS windows partition(s).
After you will find your NTFS windows partition(s) in /media.
You can make a link with this partitions to your desktop or in the left panel of Thunar....

Sorry for my english, i'm a french user.

Mounting the other NTFS drive:

PC/OS (start menu) > System > NTFS Configuration Tool.
A window appears asking for your password as authorization.
Another window opens showing the NTFS drive discovered.
To get this to work click directly onto the text "<Click here to set mount point>".
This then turns into a text entry point, and it wants a name to call the drive that it has discovered.

* You see the mount point that it is asking for is defined by giving it a name (not a drive path as you might think). Perhaps it would have been better to have put <Click on this text to enter name> and then we would all understand it, but technically in computer jargon it's a mount point.

After typing in a name to call your other hard drive, click to tick the Add box.
You should now be able to click the Apply button.
Another window appears to ask if it should Enable write support. Tick both boxes to be able to write to the drive.
Then click the OK button.

* This doesn't mean that the drive will now magically appear on the file manager. Yes, it's sad that the Gimp file manager appears to be superior to the System file manager. Next you need to find the location of the folder that now represents the hard drive that you want to access. The normal location is:
File System / media / "the name" that you gave the drive appears on a folder.

Select the folder, and click on the menu File > Send To, and select 'Side Pane (Create Shortcut)'.
The folder that represents the hard drive will now appear in the left pane and can be double clicked for access.

* If you run into authorization problems you may have to change these with:
PC/OS > System > Authorizations.
Move the right edge of the left pane to the right, so you can read more of the text.
Move the right edge of the window more to the right to make the window itself wider.
(Both done by hovering the mouse over the edge to be moved).
In the 'storage' section select 'Mount file systems from internal drives'.
Click the Edit button and using the drop down menus select better permissions ('Yes' for example).

In general I'm thinking that the NTFS Configuration Tool probably corrects authorizations at the same time as it makes the drive accessible.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
