can't mount a ntfs

bucovaina78 · 10-28-2004, 05:30 PM

When I try to mount an ntfs on IDE interface (i'm running mandrake on SATA) in X i get the message

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1,
or too many mounted file systems
Please check that the disk is entered correctly

What does this say? Previously it was a Win2000pro disk, it was untouched when I installed Linux on a physical other drive (SATA)

thx

try mount -t ntfs /dev/XXXX /mnt/XXXX

where you sub in XXXX for the appropriate options.

I tried that at the CLI and it gave the same message
