   Hi --

   I'm trying to mount an NTFS WIN XP drive using the mount command and I'm getting "No such device".

   fdisk -l shows the drive I'm looking to mount: /dev/sda1

   The command I'm trying to execute is:
   mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs

   I am logged in as root and created a folder under mnt called ntfs.

   Is there something I'm missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

   Thanks

   Did you try using mountbox utility?

   tailor to your own needs:

   mount.cifs //192.168.0.X/remote_folder /media/ntfs -o user=Windows_domain/windows_user,rw,uid=1001,gid=1001

   You will be prompted for your windows passwd

   Yes, did try Mountbox, but nothing happens when I click the drive and click "Mount" button.

   Mounted WinXP partition using mountbox and the options used are

   /dev/sdb2 on /media/cdrom type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)

   Perhaps you may want to try using similar options when doing the command line mount...

   EDIT: tried the same mount command you used at the top of this thread and it works fine for me
