Win2k got all fscked up, and once again all of the recovery tools on the CD are extremely useless. I'm running FreeBSD 4.3, and I don't know how to mount vfat rw and ntfs ro. I just need to copy some desktop files and SC3k cities :) over to my storage partition. I know that the second disk first partition is ad1s2 (at least I think it is) but I try to mount it: mount -t ntfs /dev/ad1s2 /win2k and it tells me that it's the incorrect super block. This is what I did in linux but I guess BSD is different huh. I'm fairly confident with my abilities to recompile the kernel so if theres anything I have to add there that's ok. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it...

Ok I got it to do the NTFS partition. I put the line:
/dev/ad1s1 /win2k ntfs ro 0 0
in fstab. I tried:
/dev/ad1s2 /storage vfat
rw 0 0
that but on bootup it said it couldn't locate exec mount_vfat in /sbin or /usr/sbin. I also tried using msdos instead of vfat but I got the same error. What's going on here?

Oh nm I just copied the files from the ntfs drive to the BSD drive and in the future I'll figure out some way to put them back on. Maybe through FTP or something...

How many partitions are in your ad1 drive? Show us the output of disklabel ad1.

It's too late now I already took the HDD out of that comp and reinstalled Win2k. But now... the fscking network card doesn't work on the BSD comp so I can't transfer the files I copied to the HDD to this computer. asdf.

w00t I fixed that too. I had to add:
device ed
to the kernel, then I had to do the command ifconfig -L ed0 192.168.1.102 192.168.1.1 and then ifconfig ed0 up and it worked! :D :D :) I'm so happy!
