Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I tried to install Solaris 10 on my laptop but after successfully installation, it showed me an error related to Xserver which I couldn't resolve and I installed openSuse 11.0 kde based. There was Window Vista already installed on my system but after openSUSE installation now it is not showing in the boot menu.

I tried to mount my harddisk partition using partitioner but it is showing me the following error.

"Error: It is not allowed to assign a mount point to a device with nonexistent or unknown file system."

The output from fdisk -l is:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000656dd

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2 5238 42064896 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 10459 19457 72282112 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 * 5239 10458 41929650 83 Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

(sda1 :: vista partition, sda2 :: just to store my data and sda3 :: linux)


I tried to mount it
mount -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222 /dev/sda2 /media/sda2

but it is also giving me an error.

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

the msg I got from dmesg | tail is:

NTFS driver 2.1.29 [Flags: R/W MODULE].
NTFS-fs warning (device sda2): is_boot_sector_ntfs(): Invalid boot sector checksum.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.

I don't know what to do now. Its a lots of project and data stored on my hard disk which i don't want to loose.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Prabhat
