Hello all,

My brother is trying to mount its NTFS system and gets in log:
Code:
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): load_system_files(): Failed to load $Bitmap.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Failed to load system files.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): load_system_files(): Failed to load $Bitmap.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Failed to load system files.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): load_system_files(): Failed to load $Bitmap.
NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Failed to load system files.


shell sends to stdout:
Code:

# mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/win

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,

       missing codepage or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail  or so


But running ntfsfix:
Code:
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
Setting required flags on partition... OK
Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK
NTFS partition /dev/sda2 was processed successfully.


It says I can mount but mounting doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Paulo Matos

Have you made sure you have compiled your kernel with ntfs support?

It's better to use ntfs-3g to cope with windows disks
