Ankur Kansagara asks:
Recently, I bought a new laptop HP G6 2010ax 6GB RAM AMD A8 1.9 GHz 1 TB HDD.
First of all, since this is the firs time I am using an OS other than Windows, I must say that somehow I managed to install LM14 on my notebook. However, beyond that I am not able to move any further.
Whenever I try to click the 1 TB icon in Computer, it says -
Unable to mount location. Can’t mount file.
Also my mts mblaze datacard is not working with this notebook.

December 14, 2012Second problem indicates card reader requires a driver. I assume the HDD is an external drive. Does it use USB or eSATA connection? Is the drive formatted in NTFS? If so Linux won’t read it unless NTFS-3G driver is installed.
Latest version of linux ( fedora , ubuntu , mint ) has no problems reading NTFS formatted drives

December 14, 2012It’s because you have to be root when you want to mount a drive,
then you can mount the drive through command ( terminal ) or use Nautilus
