I not see NTFS disk

[digikv]

I install Linux lite 3.0 64bit but now I not see NTFS disk.
Can you help me?
inuxlite@linuxlite-Precision-M6500:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

Hi digikv,

Welcome to the Forum!

How many physical disk are in your system?

The fstab refers only to one disk (sda) which was entirely used during installation. So if sda is your only disk, you must have chosen to wipe the disk, i.e. also your ntfs partition during installation.

So I hope you're referring to a second build in disk or a USB disk...

In a terminal please run this command and post the output:

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

Hope that helps

Command "cat /etc/fstab" only shows what partitions are mounted during boot-up of LL, which is currently just the root partition of LL.  That doesn't necessarily mean that any existing NTFS partitions on the drive are no longer there -- just that they are not mounted on boot.  However, if you were trying to dual-boot with Windows, the fact that the LL root partition is sda1 is probably not a good sign because usually Windows boot &/or system partitions are first on the drive.  If you replaced Windows with LL, but chose to keep an existing NTFS data partition, it may still be there.


To find out for sure, run either of the following two commands to see all of the partitions now present on the hard drive.  The first command is a corrected version of one listed by LL-user.  Second one is just another way to list partitions.

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

(Lowercase letter "L" at end of command, not a number "1".)

Code:

sudo parted --list

Copy/Paste the output of either one of those back here for us to look at.


If you do see any NTFS partitions still on the drive with those commands, also post back the output of the following command so we can describe process for you to add entries to auto-mount the partition(s) if that is what you want to do.  (This command lists the partitions and their UUID's.)

Code:

sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list

[LL-user]

Huh, does the lower case letter L in my post show up as number 1 on your end?

[gold_finger]

No, the "L" is fine but you accidentally made the command "fsdisk" vs. "fdisk".

[LL-user]

OMG, didn't even pick it up the second time around. Thanks for pointing it out!
Will correct it...

Hi digikv,

You might have seen yourself that the output doesn't give any indication of an existing ntfs partition on your disk.
Currently there is only one 629GB ext4 partition at the beginning of your 1TB disk.

IF you have a backup, then I would revert back to that now.

In case you don't AND want/have to go down the data recovery route (with unpredictable outcome at this stage) it would be helpful to learn more about your disk setup before you installed Linux Lite. And it would be highly recommended not to use the disk in read/write mode anymore, meaning do not start the installed Linux Lite!

Still hope you have a backup...
