i need help force mounting my hard drive i crashed my windows vista and the device indicates an unclean shutdown. faild to mount'dev/sda1':Operation not supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. The options i have are to get ana adapter for my desktop computer to put my laptop hard drive in for force mount the hard drive in ubuntu. Ubuntu automatically named my hard disk " " so it told me to put this into terminal
code: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media -o force when i put that in terminal it says only root can do that what do i do |

Re: cant force mount hard drive
Hi,
If it says that only root can do that, then use this Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media -o force This assumes that the command provided is correct. However, I am not sure as to the safety of this command. Cheers, Lordadi.

Re: cant force mount hard drive
If you are dual booting, then boot in windows and
make a clean shutdown(no hibernation). If you really want to force mount the partition: Code:
sudo mkdir /media/windows sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows -o force |
