I just tried on my other laptop that has 8.04 installed, and
I don't need a password to mount those partitions either. Don't know what
the deal is with the other... I have two different passwords, so that is not
it. So anyway, I guess John should ignore those part of the instructions.
It's odd that he doesn't see anything in his windows partitions... do you
think it could be because his windows partition may be NTFS?
