I'm not sure why you're fdisking a device with data on it.. Seems risky to me, but anyway... So you're saying that, for example,
root% mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/amountpoint gives errors of some sort? Or am I reading you wrong---you are saying that you want to get at data on this second hd (which lin sees as /dev/hdc, which has a number of ntfs partitions on it) while booted in Linux, right? Cheers, ~Brian Phillip Rhodes wrote: Ok, here's some additional info.. I found a kernel option specified in grub.conf, hdc=ide-scsi. I took that out and now if I fdisk -l /dev/hdc, it sees the drive.. BUT.. it thinks there is ONE partition of type SFS (whatever that is). In reality there are two or three NTFS partitions.... Anybody got any thoughts on what might be causing this? Or more to the point, how to fix it? The goal here, is to get to my mp3 collection (which is on that 2nd hard drive) when I'm running Linux.. I've already gotten the NTF support to work (for partitions on /dev/hda) I just can't get anything to work with this other drive...
