Sometimes, when a ntfs partition is open, or partially corrupted, or it had been bad closed, if you try to mount it, you’ll find an error message telling you that it’s impossible to mount.
Today, I had to help a friend with her computer, wich was infected by a virus or a trojan… and she couldn’t access to her windows partition.
The first I did was use an Ubuntu Live CD (it’s always on my bag
) to mount her Windows partition and move her files to another hard drive. But I always got that error message. Finally typed this command on the Terminal, et voilà:
[sourcecode language='css']
$sudo mkdir /media/HDD
$sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/HDD -o force
[/sourcecode]
This only forces the ntfs partition mounting by using the ntfs-3g driver, and it had worked great.
Por azares del destino, no he visto la necesidad de actualizar la OpenOffice de mi Ubuntu hasta hoy, que le estoy cogiendo el gusto a las hojas de cálculo
