[SOLVED] Making a Symbolic Link to NTFS drive

How can I make a symbolic link to a folder on my NTFS drive (/media/disk) ?

I tried using ln <directory to link to> <link name> and got:

 hard link not allowed for directory

EDIT: nvm... I used ln -s and made a softlink or whatever...

Re: [SOLVED] Making a Symbolic Link to NTFS drive

links to a different filesystem need to be symbolic links, try

ln -s <directory to link to> <link name>
