force mount USB drive??
Hi Guys, hope someone can help, I'm at my wits ebd with this.
Under XP I ran norton defgramenter which norton goback decided was creating too many bad sectors and rebooted the machine for me. Since then I havn't been able to boot the machine. So after some digging i found NTFS4DOS which rus a chkdsk which fails on the drive during the index check which leads me to think the disk is in a bad way. So I need to get the files off and am using Knoppix to do it. I've got a 350gb toshiba external drive (fat32) which knoppix sees fine. However if i try to access the external drive i get the message you cant write to this drive (or similaer) so I dismount the drive (umout /dev/sdb1) and then remount using mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 and it tels me that because windows didn't shut down cleanily I cant mount a drive to write. Is there a way to force the drive to mount?. It is in fact clean (brand new) and I'm at the stage where I'm only trying to salvage the files from windows?. Interestingly my USB memory stick is fine and I can write to that - it thinks its a vfat drive whereas the USB tells me its a fuse device.
Sorry for any confusing stuff, I'm not a Unix system person at all, just know a bit from previous job.
Hope someone can help, or the next step is Kermit (or wireless ??) file transfer
Regards
