Hey Y'all,

I'm trying to mount a USB drive with an NTFS file system on it. I need the drive in a win-7 virtual box instance.

Error Dialog is:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Error opening '/dev/sdc1': Read-only file system Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Read only file system

Any suggestions?

I installed ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs from the epel repo.

I made a mount point at /mnt/Win-7

I added: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/Win7 ntfs-3g ro,umask=0222,defaults 0 0

in /etc/fstab

I issued: mount /dev/sdc1

In /home/mlapier/Shared

ln -s /mnt/Win7 USB1

I was able to access the contents of the drive through the sym link from the Win-7 Pro VM.

Live is good.
