[SOLVED]mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/hd failed: Invalid argument

[AJK101]

When i try to mount my main drive (where windows xp is) I always get this error :

Code: [Select]

$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/hd failed: Invalid argument
Am i doing something wrong? Also, when i try to access the partition from my file manager, the following error occurs :

Code: [Select]

Mounting /mnt/sda1
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 failed: No such device
Mount failed
The only thing that I am able to mount are my pen drives.

if the fs is ntfs u need to install filesystems-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz (read only access)
For rw ntfs-3g-adv.tcz

Ah, it is, and how do I allow tc to mount them? I did not understand what you wrote above, sorry
Also, will this damage my files in any way?? Is it like formatting?

read-only access would be most safe.
