Subject: [GRLUG] Mount a windoz XP drive

 

Scenario:  I have an IDE drive from

a machine running windoz XP that I'd

like to mount on Kubuntu.  

 

The drive might be bad, but assuming

it's not, what would be an appropriate

mount command?

 

I've tried mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf  /X  and

mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf /X -o ro - the latter

because one source claim you can only

read from a windoz XP drive.

 

Neither works.  Messages include 

"doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS."

 

Suggestions?
