    I've only just started using linux this week & I'm having a few teething problems. Basically I have MP3's on my "D:\" which I want to be able to access in Linux.
    I logged into root at the shell,
    mkdir /mnt/D
    mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/D

    when I try to access the /mnt/D directory there is a lock on the folder.
    how can I get access to this folder.

    Any help would be much appreciated.:confused:

    You're mounting the drive as root, but probably trying to access it as a regular user. Look into the 'umask' option of mount (man mount) to mount it as your regular user account.
