Mine is FAT32 on this machine because I want to both read and write it (I converted the ntfs to FAT32 with the Partition Magic utility).Then I put the following in my /etc/fstab /dev/ad0s2 /mydosmsdosfs rw0 0 and then when I want it mounted, I just do: mount /mydos and it works just fine. That seems the easiest way to keep it. But, your error message looks like it is complaining of just what it says: there is either not a /mnt or not a /mnt/win So, if that is true, make sure those directories - or whichever one[s] you choose to use exist before try the mount. I suppose that could also be a permissions problem or even a security level issue if you have mucked with that. jerry - Original Message From: Martin Tournoij [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 3:51:25 PM Subject: Re: Can I Mount A Windoze Drive?

Great! What worked here for me was: mkdir -p /mnt/win and then mount_ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win and *now* I can mount the Windoze drive.

I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up. I have two hard drives in my box...one for Windoze, one for FBSD. Can I mount the former from FBSD and copy over files? Well, you mount file systems, not disks. But yes, using mount_ntfs (or, if your Microsoft box is very old, mount_msdos). In your fstab you might have: /dev/ad2s2 /C: ntfs rw 0 0 If you now create a directory /C:, and assuming that the drive partition is correct, this file system will be mounted automatically when you start the system. You can mount or unmount it manually with 'mount /C;' and 'umount /C:'. Which disk? Look at the device nodes in /dev: $ ls -l /dev/ad* crw-r- 1 root operator4, 11 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 12 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2s1 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 13 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2s2 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 14 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2s3 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 15 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2s4 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 16 Feb 3 08:44 /dev/ad2s4a crw-r- 1 root operator4, 17 Feb 3 08:42 /dev/ad2s4b crw-r- 1 root operator4, 18 Feb 3 08:41 /dev/ad2s4c crw-r- 1 root operator4, 19 Feb 3 08:42 /dev/ad2s4d The node names ending in letters are BSD partitions; ad2 is the whole drive one of the others is the Microsoft partition. fdisk will tell you which one: $ fdisk ad2 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 6 (0x06),(Primary 'big' DOS (= 32MB)) The data for partition 2 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) The data for partition 3 is: sysid 219 (0xdb),(CP/M, Concurrent CP/M, Concurrent DOS or CTOS) The data for partition 4 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) I've removed unnecessary output from this example. Do I navigate it just like a FBSD disk...cd, cp, etc? In principle, yes. Microsoft has this stupid idea of embedding spaces in file names. You'll see how stupid this is when you have to navigate them using UNIX commands: $ ls -l /C:/WINDOWS ... drwxr-xr-x 0 yana home0 Dec 9 2004 Connection Wizard ... drwxr-xr-x 0 yana home0 Dec 9 2004 Driver Cache $ cd /C:/WINDOWS/Connection Wizard bash: cd: /C:/WINDOWS/Connection: No such file or directory $ cd '/C:/WINDOWS/Connection Wizard' $ This will work if you haven't redefined cd as a macro, like I have done. When I try this, I still get the error message. This problem will bite you everywhere you go. You can minimize it by not using spaces in file names yourself, but you'll constantly have problems with it otherwise. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
