Can't mount 2nd NTFS Partition.
Aloha!
I want to implement a second Harddisk into my Slackware 10.2 System. This Harddisk was used in a XP System before. Before I convert the filesystem into ext2, I want to backup some files. Ok, the Harddisk has 2 ntfs partitions. The important files are on the second one. The Harddisk ist connected as the primary device at the 2nd controller. The command: mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt is working fine. But when I want to mount the second one with mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc2 /mnt (or to any other directory) I get the following message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2, missing codepage or other error (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Output of dmsg | tail: attempt to access beyond end of device 16:02: rw=0, want=3145732, limit=1 NTFS: Could not read $Mft record 0 Can anyone explain me this Output? With regards, Orangutanklaus |
Try hdc5 instead of hdc2. If it doesn't work, post us the output of `fdisk -l /dev/hdc`.

Your're right. It work's with hdc5!
Here's your requested output of fdisk -l: Disk /dev/hdc: 20.4 GB, 20416757760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2482 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 637 5116671 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc2 638 2481 14811930 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc5 638 2481 14811898+ 7 HPFS/NTFS What ist hdc2? Partition informations from older uses? Further, why is the second (here third) partition named as hdc5 and not hdc3? :scratch: Thank's a lot so far! |
it is named hdc5 because it's an extended partiton and start counting from 5. untill 5 there are primary partitions.
