Mounting Ntfs Partition On Pop! Os 22.04

• The ntfs-3g package is already installed.
• fuse3 is already installed, so no need for fuse.
• Please open the terminal. You will also need your password handy as well.
• Run sudo parted -l in the terminal to see information about all the available drives.

  sudo parted -l
  

• This is my example below: ``` test@pop-os:~$ sudo parted -l [sudo] password for test: Model: I-O DATA USB Flash Disk (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 4081MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 4081MB 4080MB primary ntfs

* Observe the name of the drive you are trying to mount. It should be `/dev/sd<letter>`. In the above example, we want to mount `/dev/sda1`. Since yours is a secondary hard drive, it will likely be labelled `/dev/sdb`.
* Make a mount point with `sudo mkdir -p /mnt/<mount_name>`
	* For example, I create a mount called `/mnt/pool-lima`.

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/pool-lima

* We now mount the drive with `sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sd<letter><number> /mnt/<mount_name>`. In my example, this would be:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/pool-lima

* If you receive no errors or warning messages (just an empty output), that is good. The drive is now mounted to the mount point.
* To make the mount permanent if you reboot or shutdown your machine, we have to edit a file. This is the `/etc/fstab` file. We edit this with a text editor.

sudo nano /etc/fstab

* At the bottom of the file, we add the following line (the spaces are also important):

/dev/sd /mnt/ ntfs defaults 0 0

* In my example, this would be:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/pool-lima ntfs defaults 0 0 ```

• To save the changes, we press ctrl + o and then press enter.
• To exit the editor, we press ctrl + x and then press enter.
• To add the drive to your file manager, open the file manager and click Other Locations
• Then double click Computer
• Once inside there, open the mnt directory:
• You will then see your mounted drive. In my case it was pool-lima.
• From there, you can drag the directory into the side menu for ease of access:
