Mounting my windows partition.


Hello, I have several NTFS partitions. All of them mount, except the one windows is installed on.
This is the error I get.

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems


Heres what I have in fstab:

Code:
/dev/hdb1		/mnt/hdb1	ntfs		users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda1		/mnt/hda1	ntfs		users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda2		/mnt/hda2	ntfs		users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0
hdb1 and hda2 mount fine, but hda1 does not. I don't understand it.

I've checked it's ntfs and that the mount point exists.

Anyone know why my windows partition will not mount?


Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Do you have the NTFS module loaded in your kernel? I had a similar issue and you must have the module configured in your kernel for NTFS to be mounted in Linux

Hope this helps,

Bob

Sorry, bad reply...I reread your post and see that you are mounting other NTFS partitions, so you obviously do have the needed module loaded.

I have a similar problem, but I don't know if it's exactly the same as yours. I get the same error message, but I'm somewhat sure that it has something to do with the fact that my Windows install is on two hard drives in RAID 0 configuration.
