Can't mount NTFS HD, help!

Hi folks,

I created this mountlist with giggledisk for a NTFS formatted hard drive I want to extract information from, but when I try to mount it, nothing shows on the wb. Just wondrinf if any of you see anything wrong in it. I'm told the HD has 4K blocks, so I changed the value to 4096 in that filed, but it didn't help. The unit is 3 becuase it's connected as slave in my powerflyer's 2nd. port in "no split" node.

thanks for any help!

D.

What is printed when you type "version L:NTFileSystem" in a shell?

BlockSize specifies the physical block size of the disk. You should keep this at 512. If the file system uses 4096 byte blocks you should change SectorsPerBlock to 8.

Bye,
Thomas
