hi,

I have a disk that had windows 2000 in his past.
I used fdisk to create some linux partitions on it.
made some ext2 partitions on it.
when I try to mount the 3rd partition with
#mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/tmp
it ok.
when I try to mount the first partition
#mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp
I get the error message:
fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
however,  
#mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp
works.

is there anything else I have to make so the disk will not remember it's 
ntfs past ?
   

Incidentally, this issue was the subject of a long thread on this very
list less than a month ago, look e.g. at the first post here
<http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/03/02/msg00354.html>
or at my reply here
<http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/03/02/msg00380.html>
The short answer:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxxx count=1
with the FS unmounted.

thanks,  this fixed the problem.

Alon.
