I'm in the process of going through some old HDs using an external USB adapter before wiping and recycling these.
I have a disk showing up as below. But can't seem to mount anything.
Disk /dev/sdc: 37.27 GiB, 40007761920 bytes, 78140160 sectors
Disk model: 0M9AT00
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xaf4caf4c
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1 * 63 1992059 1991997 972.7M 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdc2 1992060 78140159 76148100 36.3G 5 Extended
/dev/sdc5 1992123 78140159 76148037 36.3G 83 Linux
When I try to mount either /dev/sdc2
or /dev/sdc5
I'm getting the following.
# mount /dev/sdc2 /root/temphd
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc2': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdc2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
# mount /dev/sdc5 /root/temphd
mount: /root/temphd: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
Thanks for the help. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
