Show the output of the commands /sbin/fdisk -l and mount please.

Thanks. Looks like they are both mounted and should be available. Nothing under /mnt/WWW or mnt/Ombladon's files, huh? Maybe a change to the fstab file, like this:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/Ombladon's files ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/WWW ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Also, I wonder if Ombladon's files will fly as a folder name. Maybe something a bit simpler, like Ombladon

/dev/sda2 /mnt/Ombladon ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/WWW ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

I'd probably umount the folders first. umount /mnt/Ombladon's files and umount /mnt/WWW, make the changes to fstab and then type mount -a. See if you can access your files now.

Your mountpoint name won't work. Remove the space and quote characters, use only letters, numbers and the underscore character. Have you installed the ntfs-3g package? Use ntfs-3g as the filesystem type instead of "auto".

i dont think i installed ntfs-3g .. im really newbie at linux... i installed it today xD

can u plz give me the command

EDIT also in KDE im able to access www but ombladon's files not, i will modify its name and see ^^
