[newbie] NTFS Partition Not Mountable
NTFS is compiled in the kernel but I'm unable to mount the drive I get the error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, or too many mounted file systems If it is a bad superblock how do I check and correct the problem and just how many mounts are too many?

What version of NTFS do you have? I don't think the Mandrake kernels support anything over NTFS 4.0 (from NT4). NTFS 5.0 (from Win2K) _may_ work, but 5.1 (from XP) won't work at all. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan The number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected -- The UNIX Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June 1972 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Which version of Windows is it from? If it is from Windows 2000 / XP, it won't mount because it uses a newer NTFS than is supported by the current kernel release (I think they support up to NTFS 4 read, and (very experimental) write).
