You can do a forced mount using ntfs-3g on ntfs partitions.
something like this i think:
Where hda2 is your desired harddisk/partition, so you put sdaX or hdaX..Code:~ maxe # mount /dev/hda2 -f ntfs-3g
(where X defines the number aka partition it is you want to mount.)
sda = S-ATA
hda = ATA
For USB drives, the KDE environment should be able to mount them automatic.
If not you should try mount it using vfat seeing as that was the best option that worked for me.
If you need more information about the mount command write:
Code:~ maxe # man mount

thx my is named /dev/sdc1
but i dont know how to install ntfs-3g?^^
And the problem is that i can't write files on my hd... but i can read them, and i thought it's because ntfs-3g isn't installed/mounted
You are using BackTrack 2 right? Cause ntfs-3g is only beta in that. In BackTrack 3
you can write and read to your ntfs partitions even when just booting up on the live cd.
You have to update your ntfs-3g in BackTrack 2 to be able to write to your harddisk
i think, cause i haven't been able to write to mine without updating ntfs-3g to the newest.

Hmm i'm using Backtrack 3 beta^^
And it don't works...
i tried mount /dev/sdc1 -f ntfs-3g nothing happened, and i can't write on the hd...
then i typed mount /mnt/sdc1 -f ntfs-3g because when i will create a folder on the hd i recieve:Could not make folder /mnt/sdb1/New Folder
But it don't changed something...
Should it try to download and install ntfs-3g new on backtrack 3 booted with live cd?
No no wait i actually wrote something wrong, my bad xD
That's how you mount using ntfs-3g manually.Code:~ bt # mkdir /mnt/sdc1 ~ bt # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
If you can't mount due to it might give you an error then try with the force option:
(i assume you have already made this folder "sdc1" so it is placed at: /mnt/sdc1
Be careful with this kind of mount seeing as it clears the ntfs log!Code:~ bt # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 -o force
Information about the force command::
Force the mounting even if the NTFS logfile is unclean. The logfile will be
unconditionally cleared. Use this option with caution and for your own respon-
sibility.
(how did i find out? I wrote "man mount" and "man ntfs-3g" in console =O)
