NTFS not mounting

[andrewimeson]

I have an hp laptop i am working on getting the files off of a corrupted windows xp . I can mount the external ntfs hd that i have, but i cant mount the internal ntfs partition.

try running these in terminal:(replacing sdxX with the one you are mounting ie /dev/sda1 )

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /media/XP

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/sdxX /media/XP
