Hi, I migrated from WIN2K to Linux this summer.
Now I've run into some problem.
Yesterday I bought i new hard drive so i could copy the content of my old NTFS drives and make EXT drives of them, and also there's a LAN comming up.

Everything went smoothly until i tried to mount an WD 320GB drive.
As you can see my drive is partioned into two, the problem is that it's not supposed to be:
Code:
fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/hdf: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdf1 1 16709 134215011 42 SFS
/dev/hdf2 16710 38913 178353630 42 SFS
...
I've tried to mount it with ntfsmount (ntfsprogs 2.0.0)
with mount /./. /./. -t fuse.ntfs
and with mount /./. /./. -t ntfs-3g
Code:
mount /dev/hdf1 /disks/WD320 -t ntfs-3g -o gid=adm,umask=003
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/hdf': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/hdf' 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?
AND
Code:
mount /dev/hdf /disks/WD320 -t ntfs-3g -o gid=adm,umask=003

(don't know in wich log to find the other mounts)
But i can only mount hdf1, not hdf2. When hdf1 is mounted i can see the content but not copy or read it.
As you can see i could't mount it at all with ntfs-3g
Don't know if i missed something, but i tried to find anything that would help me, but no luck...
(and i'm sorry if i got my english wrong...)
