Reading Files off of an NTFS drive

wasabi · 08-26-2003, 12:02 PM

ok............

i am an idiot... I already had the file open.

What happens when I reboot is that is still says that the hd is unmounted and when i click on it i get the error

"moung: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems"

by the way I am running a fresh copy of Mandrake 9.1

EDIT:
this is the line i added

Code:

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd ntfs user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,auto,umask=0,exec 0 0

Change the line to:

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd ntfs auto,ro,umask=0222 0 0

make sure you save the file and reboot and check etc -

let me know

Are your Ntfs files in

/mnt/hd

Get into your root directory and check to see if your NTFS files are mounted in

/mnt/hd

click on the blue home icon on your desktop - thern click on a little red root icon on the left - then open your

/mnt

directory

check inside /mnt/hd to see whether the fiels are there first - you can always start adding optins like kudzu etc back into the line later

you have been a great help, I have now located my files.

Linux is finally working!! I think I may be able to make the transition......

one more question...

when I attempt to run apps like irc they seem to be running in the backround and I cannot figure out how to get them into the foreground.

Thanks
