I have two scsi drives in my system....sda and sdb.....linux is installed on sda and windows 2k on sdb...when I'm in linux I'm trying to mount the windows drive. I've done the following:
thanks...I think.....I know that sdb is one 16GB partition with my win2k on it and sda is my linux install....my linux install is currently booting up off of a floppy boot disk...windoze boots up automatically without the boot disk...I will fix that later...I just don't understand why linux isn't seeing my second disk at all...anyone else have any ideas on how to try and mount a second SCSI disk (sdb) that is only one big 16GB NTFS partition????
In what way doesbn't it see it? as in not in fdisk? or just not installed in /etc/fstab?
There's plenty plenty issues about mounting NTFS and I only know they exist, not what they actually are, sorry. I think one is that many kernels aren't compiled with ntfs support on them, which seems very very daft.
hmm, well if windows can use it ok, i'm totally stuffed. A Kernel compilation issue? i really don't know.. let's hope someone clever says something....
