I have a disk that I need to read. I do not have any control over how the disk was written. It has a single partition, with an ntfs filesystem.
The rescue disk from www.sysreccd.org has the 1.2 NTFS driver, and it can read the disk. The suse 9.1/9.2 live cd's have 2.6 kernels with 2.1.16 & 2.1.17 NTFS drivers, and they complain when I try to mount it
read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid.
read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.
My guess is there is something marginally wrong with the superblock, which the older driver ignored, but the newer one is more strict.
I would like to be able to use something newer than that rescue disk to read this, since it has its own problems... any ideas?
