Can't mount IDE slave NTFS drive
I have two hard drives in my computer. They are set up as follows
IDE device (master) - /dev/hda
- Ubuntu Linux partition
- Windows Vista partition (NTFS)
IDE device (slave) - /dev/hdb
- Windows XP (NTFS) partition only
I'm trying to get that slave drives partition to mount (read only access is fine)
When I connect external NTFS drives (say, via USB) they mount, but I cant get the Slave drive to mount.
ive tried "sudo fdisk /dev/hdb" (as suggested from other support tickets) and it says "The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 19456, there is nothing wrong but it is larger than 1024 and could cause problems." It then asks if I want to mess with partition tables and such.
This hard drive, when selected at bios, boots into WinXP just fine. I dont want to alter it at all, just read from it in linux.
Any help is greatly appreciated :)
