seems like the partition /dev/sdf1 contains an x86 boot sector - so what do I
mount?? where is the data?
It's lacking a lot of the parameters I wold expect to see there, e.g.:
# file -s -k /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID "NTFS ",
sectors/cluster 8, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0xf8, heads 255, hidden
sectors 2048, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x80)
That is from Windows 7. Is the difference due to Windows 8? I don't know --
I don't have anything with Windows 8. I did run across this:
http://nodehead.com/tip-of-the-day-mount-a-windows-8-ntfs-partition-for-reading-in-linux/
But, the "Fast Startup" change it describes might only apply to the Windows
8 boot partition. You might try the suggestion to mount the partition with
an explicit "read-only" flag.
tried the mount with the -r (read only) flag - no difference.
I also have a hard drive with windoze on it and using the file command
against that I get almost exactly what you do. For some reason this usb
stick is different. When I get the opportunity I'll try it on windoze
system, write to it and unmount it properly, maybe it wasn't closed
properly by the person I got it from, and I cannot ask them, they would
have no idea what I'm talking about.
Thanks all for the suggestions, I'll update this if I get any further.
