Ping Linux unable to restore backup on NTFS partition

view story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I used Ping Linux 8 months ago to create a ghost-like image of my primary partition. (Windows 7 on NTFS) The image is on the second partition of my hard drive (Western Digital 250 gig) I need to restore now, but Ping is unable to mount the volume. In fact, it will not mount any volume or perform any new backup. I made sure nothing has changed in Bios options since I created the backup. Does this imply that is not the appropriate tool to work on NTFS system? (HowTos)

Yesterday I decided to convert my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition to Ext4 since my exposure to Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.

This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.

Hi folks, I plugged in a seagate expansion drive 1Tb into my linux server for backup purposes but it is unable to mount it. I can see the expansion drive in My computer but when I click on it, it says unable to mount, device already mounted or busy. Windows can read the hard disk with no problems. It is ntfs formatted. I installed ntfs kernel and fuse.

An NTFS volume might sometimes misreport free disk space. This primarily occurs since NTFS supports several file-level and volume features. To solve such problems, you might need to reformat the volume and use backup to restore lost files and folders. One should use file recovery utility in case if backup fails to restore.

Minor annoyance with installer 26 weeks 4 days ago

I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.

I have one data partition via ntfs-3g (mounted auto or manually) and all works fine. however...

PROBLEM IN LXDE AND GNOME, WHEN NTFS-3G IS ACTIVE, 4 EMPTY ICON PLACES ARE OCCUPIED IN THE SYSTEM TRAY.

I see them pop up there in succession after the desktop is first rendered.

If I modify fstab not to auto-mount the NTFS data partition, the ghost icons aren't there.
