I am trying to mount some WindowsXP drives which happen to be HPFS/NTFS drives
and I can't seem to be able to do it.
Is it in fact possible for Linux 8.0 to SEE such drives? Can they be
mounted??
Here is what FDISK shows when I look at /dev/hda:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 1276 1278 24097+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3 1279 2482 9671130 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 1279 2482 9671098+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
It is /dev/hda5 that I want to mount. And what I have been doing is entering
something like:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /dosc and that is rejected.. Here is what I see:
[root@mach3 root]# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /dosc
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
or too many mounted file systems
I tried using ext2 and it made no difference.
I also tried trying to mount things more simply. I just entered :
[root@mach3 root]# mount /dev/hda5 /dosc
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
...and again the bottom line is, 'fs type ntfs' not supported by kernel.
Does this mean I have to recompile the kernel to tell it to accept this file
type? ??
And if so will it work then?
