Hi, 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: Quote: 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: Quote: 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. |

Is it not arrows to move around to select a user from the login screen? |

You might look into Flashboot. It's an app that can make lots of stuff bootable from usb (along others - emergency dos, windows xp minimal etc.). I've never used it, but I have a backup boot usb just in case somewhere. I don't know about the restrictions on the free version, though, I got a registry from a friend, who switched to newer software.

Awesome I figured it out! You're right, it is the up and down arrows (can't believe I didn't try that) so I was able to shut off the computer correctly that way and thus it no longer gives me that message! Thanks! |
