 |
|
Greetings,
this time I decided to dual-boot Windows and Gentoo. I, also, decided to create a seperate partition to store music so that both OSes can access it.
Unfortunately, tho, for some reason I can't mount it (I tried to mount it to place my songs in there.)
Here is my partition table:
| Code: | # fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Disk /dev/hdc: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 2040 16386268+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc2 * 2041 2045 40162+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc3 2046 2108 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hdc4 2109 9729 61215682+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdc5 2109 2231 987966 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hdc6 2232 9729 60227653+ 83 Linux

As you can guess, hdc5 is the partition I'm talking about, hdc1 is the windows one, and the others are for Gentoo.
Now here comes the mounting part, and the errors I'm getting:
mount /dev/hdc5 /mnt/music :
| Code: |
mount: you must specify the filesystem type |
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc5 /mnt/music/ :
| Code: |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc5,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
|
(I also tried different syntax like: mount /dev/hdc5 -t vfat /mnt/music, but there was no difference.
dmesg | tail :
| Code: |
FAT: invalid media value (0x71)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdc5.
|
How can I mount that damned thing?
Thanks! |
