from windows to ubuntu - how to keep my data?

[blastman]

hi chaps,

I have a windows machine with 8 hdd in.

I've decided to go down the ubuntu route had have a data related question.

I have unpluged my data drives (formated NTFS) and installed ubuntu with no issues on the system drive.

Now when i plug one of the data drives back in the systems hangs on boot.

I was under the impression I'd be able to boot in to ubuntu and then mount the ntfs partition on the data drive.

am i wrong?

thanks

cheers chaps.

I'd gone back to windows for the time being, but I may make the move over today.

All i need on the box, is a share for my time machine, share for media devices to get my films and what-not and handbrake as I'm redoing my film collection so it all plays on my atv2.

thanks again,

tristan
