I wanted a dual boot laptop with intrepid installed. After repartitioning the hard drive using the application that came with VISTA (my first mistake), all went well with the install. I can boot into either Kubuntu or Vista with no problem. Next step was to mount the Windows partition so I can access all the files from Kubuntu. Found plenty of help on how to do it, but when I try to mount the disk, I get the following:
isk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xeec4d366
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 192 1536000 27 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 * 192 10289 81102844 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 10290 14593 34571880 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 10290 14410 33101901 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 14411 14593 1469916 82 Linux swap / Solaris
kim@kim:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/vista
ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for the details.
I ran Chkdsk no problems identified. Installed ntfs-config with no better luck. Found other instances of the problem with a google search, but no real answers.
Any help will be appreciated.
Here is fstab if it helps:
