I have sucesfully mounted a NTFS internal hard drive to xbmc live using fstab.

My other internal hard drive says it is GPT.

I have followed every letter of THIS link

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=103865&page=2

And when i run "parted -l"

It seems there are four parts to the hard drive. part 3 is 99% of the hard drive BUT using whats on there NONE of them mount using

Code:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 /media/Film

I just get the error
"xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc3 /media/Film
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc3': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdc3' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?"

Anything i'm missing?

Anything i'm missing?

The output of 'parted -l'.

Without information, nobody can help you.

of course.

The relevant segment of parted -l goes as follows

Model: ATA WDC WD10EARS-00Y (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number Start End Size File System Name Flags
1 17.4kB 1066kB 1049kB LDM metadata partition
2 1066kB 134MB 133MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
3 134MB 687GB 687GB LDM data partition
4 687GB 687GB 1000kB bios_grub


I apologise if the format doesnt look quite right I am having to copy it manually as I am on a different computer now. However the figures are all identical

i've noticed that none of the partitions have anything under the heading filesystem wheras my other drives DO have something for at least one of the partitions. (the others all work fine)

Sorry the forum has taken all my spaces out and doesn't like tabs!

Just to clarify under the heading "file sytem" ALL four coloumns are BLANK

Msftres and bios_grub are both flags

the others are all under name

Use [code] tags, or use the "#" button.

Bump for the friday evening crew?

Not a developer but - what happens if you connect this to a Windows machine?
Are the volumes seen, accessible? Can you run chkdks on them to make sure they are healthy?

Dont have a windows pc anymore only my laptop so if noone else has any bright ideas my next call is to buy a sata to usb and try that way. It did used to be connected to a windows 7 machine and worked fine.
