In Ubuntu 9.04, how do I mount different folders of the same partitions to different folders?

Python asked:


I have a shared NTFS partition (“shared”) that I use for data for both Windows and Ubuntu. How can I mount the music folder on shared to $Home/Music, and the Videos folder on shared to $Home/Videos? I want to mount the different folders on the partition to different folders in home. Any help here? Thanks in advance!

   This will help you

   First start the terminal….
   (Application–>Accessories–>Terminal);

   then type:
   cd /etc

   then type:

   sudo gedit fstab

   this will ask root user password(that is administrator,, may be you);
   After entered the password gedit will open……

   just type this line at the bottom of fstab file.
   But type your name of the drive which you want to mount(not drive letter like c,d.. The label like Os, fun, softwares) by replacing in the below (note: it is case-sensitive)…and type your user name by replacing

   type this—— in one line
   #——————————
   LABEL= /home//Videos ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
   #————————————————

   to mount another drive(like music dive)
   type this—— in one line
   #————————————————
   LABEL= /home//Musics ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
   #————————————-

   then save the file and restart…….
   this will mount your drive.. ask you asked
