<br><br>ummm.. something that just comes to mind.. usually sda points to the<br>drive itself, not the partitions. You might want to try:<br><br># fdisk -l /dev/sda<br><br>This will list the partitions available on the drive. It might be that
<br>you are trying to mount the drive itself rather than the partitions.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Regards,<br><br>--<br><br>Adam Davin<br>Byteme IT Services<br>Mob: 0422 893 898<br>Fax: 08 9493 4462<br>Email: <a href="mailto:byteme-its@westnet.com.au">

# fdisk -l /dev/sda<br>
<br>
Did list the filesystem, but when I try to mount it using -t ntfs or
vfat it still gave me the same error, I have tried -t usbfs, where it
mounted it but it displayed incorrect files...<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply.<br>
