Hi there,  
 
I can't make ntfs progs to work at all here. I cannot figure out what, how to
pass for device/ partition I'm refering to to any of the ntfsprogs. Nothing
seems to work.
Does it expect some special Windows path?

Under Linux, the ntfs drive would be /dev/sda1.
 
I'm trying under Win XP using the GnuWin32 ntfsprogs: 
 
bin>ntfsinfo.exe -v -m -d /dev/sda1 
Failed to set locale, using default '(null)'. 
win32_io.c(199): ntfs_device_win32_open The handle is invalid. 
ioctl failed 
Couldn't mount device '/dev/sda1': No error 
 
Just in case I tried with hda1: 
 
bin>ntfsinfo.exe -v -m -d /dev/hda1 
Failed to set locale, using default '(null)'. 
Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': Invalid argument 
 
 
I also have a (separate from gnuwin32 progs) cygwin installation, and this is
what it shows in /proc/partitions:
 
$ cat /proc/partitions 
major minor #blocks name 
 
8 0 244198584 sda 
8 1 5092573 sda1 
8 2 239095395 sda2 
 
sda1 is my windows installation, using ntfs.  
 
So, what am I doing wrong? 
 
I really would like to get ntfsprogs working here, so I hope you could help
me here:)
 
Thank you
