[solved-sort of] My NTFS drives are no longer detected by Ubuntu.

[freebird73717]

Well I've been using ubuntu for a few weeks now and am really liking it. The only problem is that after a reboot from windows to linux this morning Ubuntu no longer sees my ntfs drives. What the heck happened? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to get them back?

The funny thing is these drives are recognized just fine in windows. Any thing I can do short of a fresh install (don't really want to go that route as I finally have things the way I want them).

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit-- Okay I'm not sure what the problem was but it's working okay now.

Final Edit--- Jan 18, 2008 I still don't know what caused the problem but I now know what fixed it (because it happened again recently). To fix the missing drive problem I just had to boot into windows then reboot into ubuntu. That fixed the problem.
