 Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:09 pm Post subject: can't mount ntfs |
 |
|
I'm trying to mount a windows XP disk onto linux. I have the drives pulled out of the old machine and plugged in to my USB port via a universal drive adapter kit. Just a few cables that plug into this SATA disk and provide power and connect to USB. When I plug in the drive via usb, a new device appears (/dev/sdc).
| Code: |
$ fdisk -l /dev/sdc
|
... returns nothing. And trying to mount it ...
| Code: |
$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc /mnt/win
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
|
When I plug the device in, this shows up in my dmesg log ...

I've compiled NFTS file system as a module and see this ...
| Code: |
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
ntfs 78730 0
nvidia 9603619 28

Anyone have any ideas here? |

| /dev/sdc is the name of the device. You should be trying to mount /dev/sdc1. |

| But I have no /dev/sdc1 device. Only /dev/sdc exists. |

try emerging ntfs-3g and then mounting.
Also, you may need to compile ntfs support in kernel (I can't remember if ntfs-3g provides kernel based driver or something else).
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/point

| Why are you running fdisk as an unprivileged user? Unless you have udev configured to offer special permissions, you probably need root permission to access the device node. Please run, as root, the commands sfdisk -l /dev/sdc; file -s /dev/sdc; od -tx1z -Ax -N512 /dev/sdc. |
