Can't see my hard drive

Hi,
I'm very excited about ubcd, but so far it's only great on paper for me:
My ntfs hard drive partitions don't appear on any of the file managers.
I have tried enabling ntfs support during loading of the programs with no luck.

Please help, I'd really love to become an ubcd user !!!

Thank you
Christophe

For starters, did you try NTFS4DOS?

[F3] Filesystem Tools
Right-arrow key to [Filesystem Tools 2/2]
[2] NTFS4DOS *Freeware

Thanks a lot.
I could access my partitions with ntfs4dos,
but now how do I access the ubcd tools ?
from the ntfs4dos prompt, I tried the a to z drive letters and could not access my cdrom drive with the ubcd.

Looking forward to an answer.
Christophe

I am afraid the NTFS4DOS boot disk only allows you to access the NTFS partition, but not the CDROM drive.

What problem did you encounter when you tried to mount the NTFS partition using FreeDOS?

Try booting FreeDOS, then at the command prompt, type "ntfsdos". It should show you more clearly the NTFS partitions it tried to mount, and report any errors encountered.
