[root@localhost baL]# mount /home/baL/d mount: special device /dev/sdb5 does not exist [root@localhost baL]# mount /home/baL/e mount: special device /dev/sdb6 does not exist [root@localhost baL]# mount /home/baL/c NTFS signature is missing. Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Failed to mount ‘/dev/sda1′: Invalid argument The device ‘/dev/sda1′ doesn’t have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? the same error message shows up during the fedora bootup automount. (/etc/fstab contains the reqd lines). i even updated ntfs-3g to 1.2712 but the same errors show up. booting into xp is working well and fine. and i can also very well use ext2fs within xp to access my fedora8. but accessing xp ntfs from within fedora8 has proved futile. i sure don’t know what has happened. i’ve to have access to my xp system because i use wine extensively testing 32bit win software in linux. i’d appreciate any help on this. thanx in advance, sincerely, balaji hi,

If you are still on Fedora 7, you can use my fuse packages, and you may aslso wish to upgrade them using Yum updater ( I use Yum Extender aka Yumex here). If you have a good bandwidth, do consider downloading Fedora 8 which is really nice and beautiful. Sadly they don't have canonical to distribute the DVDs freely. Canonical is charitable organisation that distributes free Ubuntu CDs all over the world.

@sachin: Issuing cd /temp will look for temp in the root folder which is ‘/’

You need to change to /opt/temp. If you are already within opt folder, all you need to do is issue a "cd temp" command, without the slash in front of the folder name. You can write "cd t" and then hit tab for the terminal to complete the name for you. These autocompletion tricks come in handy to save typing time.

Okay, ill elaborate on this, hold on. I will first assume that you have created the folder <i>temp</i> in '/opt'. You can check that by typing: <code>cd /opt ls</code> You should see the folder <i>temp</i> there. By the way, the 'ls' command will list all the directory contents. Okay, let's come back to your problem. To extract the tar.gz file, you need to know where it is. Suppose you downloaded it and saved it on your desktop, then the path to the file is something like: /home/sachin/Desktop/fuse_complete.fc7.tar.gz All you have to do is go in that directory. <code>cd /home/sachin/Desktop/ </code> You might wish to do an 'ls' here to ensure the tar.gz file is really here. Then, issue the command that initially didn't work: <code>tar -xzf fuse_complete.fc7.tar.gz /opt/temp</code> Let me know how it is going. I will update my article so that people don't get this problem again. Kind regards, Shailen @Sachin :
