External Hard Drive Won't Mount
Straight to the point:
I am trying to recover files off a 3.5" IDE Hard Drive that had Windows ME installed on it. I have access to a MacBook, Windows XP Desktop PC, and a cd with Ubuntu 8.10 on it.
Attempts:
1) If I make the HD the only primary master HD it won't boot up.
2) If I make it a slave drive it won't boot up.
3) I purchased an external enclosure from Radio Shack which turned out to be crap and online reports supported this conclusion. I got nowhere with that thing. Bestbuy doesn't sell 3.5" IDE enclosures.
4) By using an IDE / SATA to USB kit, I am able to connect the HD to the PC via USB cable. XP will detect the drive, however the HD will not my displayed under "My Computer" nor "Disk Management".
Onto linux (this is where I grabbed the Ubuntu cd):
5) When connected, the HD will show up under "Computer" as a "USB Drive". When I double click on it I get the error "Unable to mount location Can't mount file".
Allow me to show you some commands I ran:
sudo fdisk -l
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Well, at first glance, it looks like you can see the disk (because you can fdisk it). So long as /dev/sda is the drive you are trying to work with. So, what I would do is bring up an xterm shell and try:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/mntplace
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /tmp/mntplace
If you can mount it manually, see if you can see your data. It's possible that Ubuntu doesn't have ntfs support compiled in the CD kernel (but I doubt that). Anyway, from your other two listings, I'm not too sure that it has recognized the drive. Might want to look through the entire dmesg and see if it's recognizing the drive. |

Unfortunately the drive showing up in fdisk is the internal drive. I'm trying to get my files out of the external drive. I post the dmesg in a little while. |

I don't know how to make the terminal show me all of the results of the command. I scroll all the way up on the terminal and it doesn't display the original command like it usually does. |

"mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /tmp/mntplace"
That should be /dev/sda1.
And does Windows ME even use ntfs? I think it uses vfat.

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /tmp/mntplace
Code:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /tmp/mntplace
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

I have just looked at this thread now and do not fully follow. But it looks like the above poster is right and ME does not us NTFS. So just change things to
Code:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda /tmp/mntplace
and is there something above about it should be /dev/sda1?? Like the error message says /dev/sda sounds like the whole disk, not a partition. Try variations. Try this:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/myDrive
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/myDrive
cd /mnt/myDrive
ls

Try the following
This gives you a list of disks and partitions, in a form that makes it easy to identify which each one is. Assuming you know the make of the hard drive you are trying to recover (and model if you have others of the same make), it should be easy to spot the right one. Then you can try and mount it with
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/disk/by-id/relevant id /mnt/myDrive
. Make sure you mount the partition (it will have '-part1' at the end).
(EDIT: You'll need to prepend the mount command with sudo of course) |

Should be
Code:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/myDrive
It was a typo. |

At the moment the drive in question is connected to the USB adapter you have, correct?
In that case, the relevant device SHOULD be
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-JMicron_USB_to_ATA.ATAPI_Bridge_152D203380B6-0:0-part1
But that device isn't there!
This means one of two things. Either the hard drive isn't properly connected to the USB adapter, or it has a broken partition table.
To determine which, run
Code:
sudo fdisk -l "/dev/disk/by-id/usb-JMicron_USB_to_ATA.ATAPI_Bridge_152D203380B6-0:0"
If the drive is connected properly, you will get some output. If it is not, you will get nothing.
edit: also, if these long disk ids are bothering you, 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-id' will tell you where the symlinks point to, which is the more usual '/dev/sdb1' or similar
