Other Help Topics :: New to linux can't mount hd in dsl

I'm having trouble locating my SATA hard drive in DSL. Couldn't find any wikis or howtos on it. Any tips on what I might do to successfully mount it so I can access my files? Btw, it's an NTFS filesystem.

Read this post:Accessing Windows Hard Drive, For a complete and utter n00b
The filesystem is NTFS then read the post written by Kerry:Help!! Recovering windows data with DSL!

I went to emelfm and looked for my hd but nothing was in there. When I boot using the Knoppix live cd it automounts it as device sda1 but when booting from the DSL live cd it insists that device sda1 doesn't exist.

sda1?. An USB device could be labeled: sda (if several: sdb, sdc, and so on) by DSL but a SATA hard disk would have to be labeled: hda (if several: hdb, hdc, and so on).

Could try adding the missing line in /etc/fstab->

/dev/sda /mnt/sda ntfs noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0

Also create a folder to mount in /mnt name it sda.
