G'day
I had installed Kanotix on my system after yet another XP crash on my Seagate 200gb sata hdd.
However, I didn't wanted to loose some of my data files on the SATA so I installed Kanotix on my 80GB WD ide first (and wanted to test run the whole thing first )
Can I get some advice on how to go about doing a transfer of some data files from my Sata to my ide hdd? mind you, sata hdd is NTFS formated!
When I plug in the Sata, I do see it on the desktop but can't mount it since it's not on /etc/fstab... so I need to put that on the /etc/fstab, right?
cheers |

You need to create to a mount point and an fstab entry:
Code:
sux
mkdir /media/sda1
Replace "sda1" with the correct label of the partition that you want to be mounted.
Code:
mcedit /etc/fstab
Insert the following line:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs ro,umask=000 0 0
Again, replace "sda1" with the correct label.
Press "F2" to save the file, "F10" to quit. Then reboot:
Code:
shutdown -r now
This is how I mount new partitions on a PATA hard drive. It should be the same for SATA.
The NTFS partition will be mounted "read only". Use Konqueror to copy your files to another drive and/or partition. |

No reboot required to reread fstab, just
mount -a
you can also umount like:
umount -a |

When I installed Kanotix I put it on a 80gig ide. When I booted the 250gig sata was already in fstab. Since I had partitioned part of it in windows I simply formatted the rest in linux. Everything was readable. This was the second go. I had messed up the first install and nothing worked right, my fault entirely but I learned.
