I am running dsl 2.0 on hp pavillion 2.9mhz 512mb ram. however when i run fdisk -l, nothing happens. i have added to /etc/fstab as a test in addition to /etc/mtab.
*Note when i did try to mount the hda it said something about ide-scsi? sr0 & sda. isnt sda refering to the pendrives? I dont have one yet. I did check the dmesg but nothing caught my eye.
to mount i used this:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd -o ro,umask=000
the machine i run dsl on is the family computer and I am just trying to figure out how to do this so if windows ever goes out i will be able to rescue data. from reading the message board postings ntfs seems harder to mount that fat32 partitions.
one other thing to add...on the d:\ drive there is a bunch of rescue utilities that hp put there. the boot.ini is hidden there as well as some other things. i check disk management to make sure that i was referring to the correct partition. disk 0 partition 1. the arc path also refers to the same place.
from working with dsl i have come to two conclusions:
1. the hp rescue utilities are somehow hindering the mount command, or,
2. i am not mounting it correctly.
I have checked all the message boards [all that I could find] and tried everything that was suggested. if anyone can get back to me on this I would appreciate it.
Thank You,
