When i try to look through my windows fat32 partition, all i can see is "C\"., and it says there is nothing any farther in the drive. I need to be able to see and read the contents off of this drive, but it seems i am not able to, any suggestions?
use the manual mount command to mount your windows partition on the linux filesystem. Create a directory to mount, preferably under /mnt/. Issue the command:
mount -t *filesystem type of windows /dev/*device of windows partition /mnt/*your created directory
yes, you need support for ntfs built into the kernel
try this
modprobe ntfs
if you don't have the module and the kernel gives an error " -- does not support ntfs" when you try to mount an ntfs partition, then you will need to rebuild the kernel to add ntfs support or build it as a module.
where do i put in the probe ntfs ?
