Yeah, ntfs to ntfs... If i had another drive that is not ntfs i could just copy from ntfs, that works without any issues i think, but alas, i do not.
You were right, the source is sda2 and teh target is sdb5. Sorry i should have included that information.
The id command returns this:
Code:
uid=999(ubuntu) gid=999(ubuntu) groups=999(ubuntu),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),116(lpadmin),126(sambashare)
I tried running this command:
Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,big_writes /dev/sda2 /mnt/source
and i get this output:
Code:
ig_writes /dev/sda2 /mnt/sourceWindows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)
Now i understand what you meant by fast boot and windows itself being the problem. This was no doubt caused by fast boot or something similar happening. And windows did not shut down because it crashed...
Nevertheless i tried changing uid and gid to what the "id" command told me and i get this:
Code:
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
Probably because it refused to mount it in the first place, so now it's locked or something. I can't even find it in the built in file manager anymore.
I suppose a restart of the live session would be required to reset this, but i'm downloading windows right now, with an abysmally slow connection and it'll take a while.
I'll leave it overnight and try again tomorrow (replacing 1000 with 999 if that's needed). If it doesn't work (which is likely because apparently windows didn't shut down properly), then i'll just take the SSD to a friend and move my files that way...
I really need to get an external disk or something. Oh well...
In any case, thank you so much for trying to help me!
EDIT:
The second code went without errors, but i still can't write anything to now mounted /dev/sdb5.
Both source and target are in the /mnt directory, but it's the same as if they were mounted normally. Can't do anything, just browse.
