Then, I tried to mount the main NTFS partition and failed miserably! I did a mount -r /dev/sda3 /mnt and all I got was a hang so hard that a power cycle was needed.
Was I doing something wrong? Or does openSuSE have issues with Vista's version of NTFS?
Assuming the live can mount ntfs (ie, it contains the necessary modules), Linux can not mount an ntfs filesystem that was not closed properly by windows. Ie, in any case, you'd have to at least boot windows, and close it "normally". ntfs-3g can not mount an ntfs filesystem with data in the journal, so that it has to be closed first by windows. And I suppose it can not be broken in any way... meaning you can run the antivirus in Linux, but not repair an ntfs partition, AFAIK. Try as root "fsck[tab][tab]", and you see the list: nimrodel:~ # fsck fsck fsck.cramfs fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 fsck.jfs fsck.minix fsck.msdos fsck.reiserfs fsck.vfat fsck.xfs There is no ntfs there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
