Help: Unable to mount USB HDD now [Solved]

(1/6) > >>

libretto:
I have a USB HDD(1TB/FAT32) used to be able to mount it under TC as /mnt/sda1.
But after using this with XP now I cann't mount it under TC anymore and it also shows up as /mnt/sda2 even thought this is the only USB device connected, when try to mount it it'll say "no such device" also when i check this drive it is reported as a NTFS format instead of FAT32. :'(

Any suggestions ?
FYI the HDD should be a FAT32.

Check drive partitions with

and post result.

Hi bmarkus,
This is the result:


--- Quote ---The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 121601.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

And I think 2) is my case.
Thanks

bmarkus:
One more thing. In fdisk prompt please print the partition layout hitting the 'p' key and post this output. It was missing in my previous mail.
