I have 2 Windows 7 hard drives in my tower and I can not access either one through Disc Utility. I used to be able to do it when I had Kubuntu 8.04 and even Trinity Kubuntu. I have Mepis 11 x64 on this box now and I get an error when I try to access either hard drive. The error states: Error mounting vloume an error occured while performing an operation on "HP" (Partition 1 of ATA ST3500620AS): The operation failed Details: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Error opening '/dev/sdc1': Permission denied
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Permission denied
Please check '/dev/sdc1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at

Is this a win7 vs Linux issue or Mepis in particular?
