System doesn't access sata hdd
« on: February 02, 2010, 05:15:41 PM »
When I built my new computer I used my old ide drive with PCLOS as it had proved itself reliable in my old system. I also installed a sata drive with some old Warcraft files on (yes I know sad! ;D). This is ntfs from a Windows XP system. Its been a long time ago but as far as I remember it wasn't the C drive. If I look in PCC it is listed as sda, a Maxtor hdd. fdisk -l shows:

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/dm-1p1   ?         410      119791   958924038+  70  DiskSecure Multi-Boot
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Some of that doesn't look right to me but I'm not sure why!

Only the Linux drive is mentioned in Fstab, nothing else.
I can't see the drive in Wine either.
Can anyone tell me if it will be possible to access this drive as I could do with some info from it.

Thanks
