One of my friends accidentally screwed up some of the critical autoruns for Windows so I can only use Linux right now. I'm trying to back up all my important files so that I can re-install Windows from scratch but I get the following error when trying to view the files on my harddrive:
Cannot mount volume.
Unable to mount the volume.
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount '/ dev/sda2': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Chose one action: Choice 1: if you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in ht eWindows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sda2/media/disk -o force Or add the option tooo the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda2/media/disk ntfs-3g force 0 0
And sometimes it displays this message:
Unable to mount 75.0 GB Media
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can see the files on my harddrive and put some on a flashdrive? I can get to the Windows login screen but can't login because the mouse autorun was screwed up and I don't know what buttons are used to scroll through the usernames (and no, TAB does not scroll through them like you would think it would). Plus, when I mash random buttons and end up logging in, it just comes back to the login screen because that autorun is screwed up too.
