markwolfe Veteran Posted September 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2005 You are doing this all under DSL as a Live environment? Or did you install DSL somewhere? I thought we covered accessing your Windows partitions earlier in this thread. Where are you at with this right now? Did you create a mount point, and try the mount command? Any errors?

Any errors? 586563172[/snapback] Yep Im doing all of this under a LiveCD Yes you are right I used the "ls" command to view the contents but it only showed the contents of one HD (which is C: in Windows). I want to view the contents of D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted September 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2005 :p Then follow the same procedure I posted above, but substitute your other NTFS drive that showed up (hdb1), instead of hda1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riahc3 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 dsl@box:~$ sudo suroot@ttyp0[dsl]# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems Thats what it tells me :-( Which proves that its NOT a NTFS parition anymore...I know it problably isnt FAT32 (doesnt let me anyways) How do I mount it as a Linux type parition?

markwolfe Veteran Posted September 24, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 24, 2005 Do you already have something mounted to /mnt/hd ? Try creating a /mnt/win_d then mount your hdb1 to win_d less likely to double-mount this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riahc3 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 (sorry for the bump again) Tried it but still nothing.... How can I mount it as a Ext or a FAT32 partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted October 3, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2005 If you don't specify a type in your mount command (or use auto for your type in fstab), then it will identify the partition type and mount it based on what your partition table says it is. Is that what you were asking? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesnt then what :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted October 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2005 If it doesn't then the error message may tell you what is wrong. You could have no valid partition at /dev/hdb1/ or you could have already mounted something to your mount point of /mnt/hd or some other problem. But it really should work.
