Just post the output of

sudo fdisk -l

[brucebd]

Unable to post the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda1 as am using my laptop for this forum but have copied it as,
"Disk /dev/hda1: 61.4GB
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 119132 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1p1 ? 216399 1904881 850995205 72 Unknown
Partition does not end on cylinder boundary"
This is repeated for p2, p3 & p4 and finally says
"Partition table entries are not in disk order"

Hope this helps - Bruce

We are not talking about

sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda1

We are talking about :

sudo fdisk -l

But anyway fdisk list your /dev/hda1 partition as "unknown", so therefor I doubt you will be able to mount it as NTFS.

Perhaps you can try ntfsfix :
http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html

ok when i run sudo fdisk -l, i get,
Disk /dev/hda: 61.4 GB, 61492838400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7476 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 7475 60042906 7 HPFS/NTFS

Hopr this helps --- Bruce

If you are going to attempt to access the ntfs volume you should have root/admin rights.

1. Get Root/Admin

sudo su

2. to identify ntfs

cat /etc/fstab <enter>

3. To mount ntfs (from the location determined from step 2)

ntfs-3g /dev/(your ntfs drive, ex. sda1, hda1) /media/(your drive designation)

4. When complete don't forget to unmount the drive.

umount /media/(your drive designation)

[offtopic]You might also try a virus scan with clamscan -i -r, once you have access to the ntfs. Make sure you update it first. You can choose remove (delete) as an option don't believe there is a rename option. Write down locations of potential threats if you don't remove. check the man clamscan for details.[/offtopic]

Caution: This only works on knoppix 5.1.1 and later.
