Weird Problem

[digiuk]

Hi,

When i go to access my HDD in backtrack i get this error



Any ideas what causes this

You have to create a mount point so if windows was sda1 for example...

mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

Should work after that. Just do it for each of your partitions.

fusermount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda1 (Vista)
bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/sda5
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/sda5': File exists

it should work what pureh@te said

1st off, type mount & see what drives are mounted
IS /SDA1 YOUR HARDDRIVE..??
then if any..... umount them & then as per pureh@te

mkdir /mnt/sda1 (or /mnt/hda1 etc...)
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 (mount /dev/hda1)
This should work trust us

It looks like, from your shell output, that your hard drive is already mounted. Reboot and open a shell. "mount" with no arguments will show the devices already mounted.

"ls /mnt/sda1" will show you your hard drive contents.

Probably, when using konq, you are telling it to mount your hard drive rather than "open" it. Try "mc" from a shell. If it can access your hard drive, it's a gui problem or operator error.

All your partitions should be mounted when you boot, default, unless you use the nohd cheatcode.

Good Luck
