Problem mounting one of my NTFS partitions

abhishekp · 11-10-2008, 10:20 PM

Hi, I repartitioned my hard drive using Partition magic. Actually i combined two FAT32 partitions which were before the ntfs partition. Now this seems to have caused some problem. I cannot mount the last NTFS partition. I tried mounting it with GParted but still the drive is not accessable. Then i used the file manager super user mode, the drive opens and shows the data but the data is not accessable(i cannot even view/read the data). Please help. Thanks in advance.

This sounds a little addled ... please give a layout plan of your drive

Code:

fdisk -l /dev/sdx    #where x is substituted with your actual drive-letter

.
Generally speaking: You also have to adjust your /etc/fstab to the new layout and also file system type i.e. the mount options in /etc/fstab have to fit. If you already did that, please post your /etc/fstab as well.
