mounting a windows partion inside of Ubuntu
can some one tell me how to get Ubuntu to let me mount a Windows partion, i have tried just plain old : mount /dev/hda
but it won't let me for some reason, i need to be able to mount that partion to get some data off of it as windows will not boot up correctly and if i can get the data off of it i can give that partion the boot. thanks for any help. Mr.p |
Shouldn't that be mount /dev/hda1? Copy and paste this into a terminal, enter your password, then reboot
Code:
sudo sed -i 's@ntfs * defaults@ntfs umask=0@g' /etc/fstab |
First thing you need to do is make a mount point in your file system. Most distros have a /mnt directory. So you open a console, become root, navigate to /mnt. Then as root do a mkdir win_c ( or what ever you want to call it.)
At this point you issue a mount command if you are mounting it tempeoraily. If you want to make it permanent, add the line to your /etc/fstab. You did not state what file system windbloze is, and yes it matters. Here is a line from my fstab you could copy and edit as required. Quote:
If you do it right, you will mount the partition during the boot process. Then you can use Konqueror to copy any files you want. |
