I'm trying to mount a ntfs partition that is on an ATA hd in a Dell Optiplex Gx620. I'm using the DSL live cd.
When I try to mount -t ntfs -o,ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/mntDir I get ...
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mount file systems
fdisk -l shows nothing. I don't think my hard drive was even detected correctly. Looking in dmesg shows no signs of it as well. It seems to me that the hard drive should be on a scsi device such as sda (it shows up as this in gparted live cd). I see some errors in dmesg dealing with this, but I am unsure of how to fix this when using the live cd. Is it possible to use this live cd on this machine to mount ntfs partitions like mine?
here's a printout of dmesg. You can see some error messages when I tried to mount hda and you can also that I successfuly mounted my usb stick onto sda1, so scsi should be working. Perhaps I need to manually assign the device file.
I seem to remember something about using /proc or /sys to manually initialize a device file but I've never done that on a live cd.
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
I appreciate your help,
phil

State your hardware that is attached to the hard drive. A SCSI or SATA drive still needs a controller module. Since none as far as I can tell is being loaded your drive is not detected.
Sorry it takes so long between posts to get this information. The computer is not actually my own but one of the many that I occasionally use at work. Thus, it somestimes takes a little while until I can get back to it.
I am not real familar with DSL sata suppuort but you might want to try setting the controller to compatable mode and starting DSL with the sata kernel option. i.e.
dsl sata
Yea, I'm in the same boat. I have no problem with using linux on this machine with other distros but DSL, my favorite live distro, doesn't seem to play as nice.
Using the sata boot option did not fix the problem.
