Mounting NTFS partitions

#1 Post by drogatoo »

Hy!
I have debian sarge installed on a dual boot harddisk with windows xp.I have 2 NTFS partitions and the 2 partitions requierd for debian(swap,root).I moounted the first NTFS partition and it worked but when i try mounting the second one it says something like this:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
missing codepage or other error
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I've used the command
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2 hd2
Can someoane plese tell me how can i mount the second partition?!

Windows has the habit to define logical partitions instead of physical ones. This means, that the first partition is a primary one, but the second you create will be logical, no matter if there are space for primary partitions.
So you can try to mount /dev/hda5 instead of /dev/hda2. To make sure, try this command:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
