The page jd066 pointed me at is excellently written. Sorry I didn't find it on my own, but at least I have a spot to thank you all for the help. :) I'm currently copying data off of the old system. It's quite a relief.</p> <p>Thanks again for your excellent information and help. :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/basic-hard-drive-mounting-error-in-ubuntu#post-36001 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:36:18 +0000 Munden 36001@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Which is precisely what I needed. Thanks! I tried to do site searches, but couldn't turn it up. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/basic-hard-drive-mounting-error-in-ubuntu#post-35981 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:11:51 +0000 jd2066 35981@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>See the article at <a href='http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/'>http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/</a><br /> It lists how to mount the file system anyway. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/basic-hard-drive-mounting-error-in-ubuntu#post-35980 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:49:29 +0000 Munden 35980@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I suppose some of you might recognize me from the 'Win98 drive limit' post. A coworker nudged me that I'd not actually looked at the boot sequence for the system that crashed, so I rather sheepishly found that the CD-ROM bootm indeed came after the HD boot.</p> <p>Ubuntu won't mount any of the drives it found, however. When I view the details of the failure, the text is difficult to read due to new-line errors but the basic idea is:</p> <p>Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action ... etc.</p> <p>Does anyone have advice on what the problem could be and how I can get Ubuntu to mount my old DOS/Win drives so I can recover data from them? </p>
