Unsuccessful in automount, Now unable to unmount

[Ms Tuesday Dogg]

Hi,
I am using Ziron with GnoMenu on a netbook with Windows 8 in another partition. I wanted to use your software so that I could use Clementine in Ziron without having to manually mount and rescan for my 3000 mp3 albums each time I re-opened my Ziron system. reading other feedback on the net I am wondering if using automount will effectively remedy this Ubuntu-Linux-type annoyance, notmatter what I do. It appears to be a 'feature' of the Linux file system.
I installed your software and rebooted. At that point I attempted to use your interface to automatically mount the appropriate Windows NTFS partition (the entire netbook exists on a 500 gyg drive). I received an error message. "Ut-oh". I re-booted my system after this was over.
The Ziron boot interface arrived at an automount or manually mount question ("Press S to skip automount") and then buzzed there forever. I thought, (deja-vu) "Ut-oh". Better be patient in case this is normal. This 'cycle' never completed. Next step, cut to cold power shutdown. "This is looking kind-of bad!"
Re-boot with a prayer (Unfortunately I am not very religious so I guess this was not going to help.) Had to press the S at the "Press S to skip automount option" I found icons for mounted partitions that were apparently unmounted on my desktop. Unfortunately Ziron was not satisfied with this procedure. Noting the unmount choices for each partition, I tried these. I was unable to unmount these partitions which actually were not mounted. I was not surprised. Also, unfortunately, while in the past I could mount these drives manually, this was no longer possible.
Next step, try to use your interface again. error again. I know I'm screwed. Last desperate but suspected to be hopeless move. Uninstall your software. Reboot.
Icons for Mounted but actually unmounted partitions still exist. Continue to not have access to these partitions.
Being an afficionado of the official WIndows User repair method, I will probably as of this point simply replace my whole operating system, but I wanted to leave my feedback here. I guess it is obvious that I need to do a lot of reading about basic Linux & Ubuntu.

I am pretty much a newbie to anything linux, so any obvious stupidities noted here might be related to that.

Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
First can you tell me which version of ntfs-config did you install and where did you get it ?
Then did you try https://launchpad.net/disk-manager ? It might help you setting in a better way
the different partition of your disk.
Finaly if that does not work either, could you grab https://launchpad.net/disk-manager/1.1/1.1.1/+download/report.sh and run it from a terminal like that:

sh report.sh > report.log

and attach the created report.log here.
Thanks

Correction to the way to run report.sh: you should run it as root. If your system support sudo and you are administrator, you can run it like that:

sudo sh report.sh > report.log

otherwise, you need to get root first:

su
sh report.sh > report.log
exit

Thank you for your attention. I still haven't decided what I want to
do with this but I believe my problem is related to a faulty
installation, The results are ugly. When I attempted to use your
software to mount my drives it sent an Exit error 1 message, I
allowed this information to be sent off for a follow-up. I noted a
comment saying my software Zorinuspect. package was an unofficial
version (very unlikely since it was downloaded from the Zorin website)
and was therefore somehow suspect in the error. The report also
suggested that I should now uninstall all 3rd-party software. Are
they crazy? All of my software was installed directly from the
software library that is installed with the Zorin installion.

I am thinking that this one of those ugly things I've encountered in
Windows in which one has to go registry skipping to removed now
un-removeable entries which point to incompleted changes from software
programs that attempt to modify settings in an unsuccessful way. The
program couldn't complete it's primary task correctly, and it's
unlikely that it is going to be able to recover my system in any
manner more successfully.

That is why I am thinking that whatever software I try to utilize,
add or subtract at this point is not going to be able to fix a problem
generated by another program that failed to complete it's task
successfully.

What I do think I need more than anything now at this point is a
manner in which I can clean the errant entries added to my boot from
your program when it failed to correctly complete it's designated
task. If you have any suggestions in that area I might find that very
helpful.

As a newbie, I will say that annoying as this is, it's also a bit
intriguing as it has shown my some ways it which Linux systems are so
similar to Windows. :) I no longer feel like a stranger in a
strange land.

Thanks much for attention and time and I hope that you have an interesting day.

Dan
