BT4 final doesn't detect NTFS partitions?

Hey,
I installed BT4 final on my 2 GB Transcend flash drive, it works fine, everything is good, but one problem - it doesn't detect my 2 NTFS partitions, so I can't access my hard drive. Weird, because with BT4 pre-final everyhing worked fine, partitions were detected....

Have you tried mounting the drives manually? Type mount from a terminal and see if they show up first. If not, you can try fdisk -l. Then just mount them manually now that you know what the device names are. This isnt a bug, but more a basic linux thing, and probably shoul dhave been put in the beginners forum. My BT4 Final thumbdrive sees my HDD's just fine.

Had problems with BT4P-F detecting NTFS partitions and had to mount them manually, but with BT4 Final - no problems.

I had to use force mount to get the NTFS partition mounted IDE drive Hitachi 2,5'' when running from Live CD.
Error were that NTFS were already in use.
- It were not.

I know you can do it by adding the necessary ntfs device entry in /etc/fstab.

But I have noticed that while in KDE, if you open up Konqueror and do the following, you'll have your device mounted to /media/<device>:
- in Location field, enter media:/
- click on the device you need mounted

1. Open Terminal

2.Type: mkdir windows

3.Type: mount /dev/sda1 ~/windows

Note: if NTFS is on sda2, then type: mount /dev/sda2 ~/windows

and so on...

If not sure type: Fdisk -l

i noticed that in konquerer you have to go to system first then storage media if you are running backtrack off live cd or usb but if you actually install backtrack you can view your other media by going directly to storage media in Konquerer

live run /system/media

install /media
