Dolphin cannot mount Windows 8 (ntfs/refs) partition

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if I'm seeing a bug, or just a default configuration of KDE4. I can see my Windows partition in Dolphin, but when I click on it I get the following error: "An error occurred while accessing <drive>, the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred.: Authentication is required".
I recall in the past that I would be prompted to put the admin/superuser password to mount the drive (but I cannot remember if my PC back then had hal, and notudev/polkit); this is not happening now. I have scoured the net for a potential solution and there are a few proposed ones. Our own wiki has this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … ormal_user, which works beautifully.
So, is it normal that I am not prompted for a superuser password? The expected user action for udev/polkit is to follow that wiki page I linked earlier?
Thanks

Ok, I figured out the freezing part; apparently, I had to connect to the USB port on the left side next to the power supply or the disk does not have enough power and causes the system to crash. So, now Disk Utility can see the hard drive with no problem.
But now, the partitions are detected as XFAT format and no volumes are mounted to the desktop. Disk Utility displays the disk description as:
Disk Description : INTEL SS DSA2M160G2GC Media Total Capacity : 160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
Connection Bus : USB Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : External S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
USB Serial Number : CVPO049000W0160AGN Partition Map Scheme : Master Boot Record
Why is the status "not supported"? How should I go about mounting the data volume so I can access the files on my Mac?

Bootcamp Mounts Window's System Reserved Partition

Bootcamp has decided to mount Window's System Reserved partition instead of the actual Windows partition. It was working fine up until this week when I decided to plug in an external hard drive. After I plugged it in and restarted into OS X, the problem started. The real Windows partition does not appear in Disk Utility. I have tried disabling NTFS-3G and booting without the external hard drive but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas?

What do you call Boot Camp anyway?
The 100MB partition is where Windows boots, if present.
And Disk Utility can mess up Windows 7 and NTFS volumes.
Maybe all the problems are from using NTFS-3G of course.
A number of people, myself incl. do not see Windows in the Apple System Prefs control panel (startup disk).
Windows and Mac OS X do show in Windows 7 control panel Boot Camp.
People misuse the name/term "Boot Camp" (as does Apple) as if it was or does things it does not.

Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

Hi Experts,
We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
"If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
Best Regards

Hi Tom,
have a look at this link:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
"If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.
Best regards,
Denis

Cannot mount Windows partition with boot loader on Mac OS 10.8

I took out my hard drive of my Windows 7 PC, which has 3 partitions on it: C drive which contains the OS and the boot loader that the computer boots into, D drive which contains my data, and a third called "System Reserved" a few megabyte in size that I have no idea what so ever what it does besides that I cannot modify or delete it, which probably means that it is important. Now I put the hard drive inside an USB 3.0 enclosure and I am trying to mount this hard drive onto my OS X Lion Macbook air. Something strange is happening, in that the computer takes about 30 seconds or more to detect the drives presence, and then it just freezes after that. On the initial try, the system actually successfully launched DiskUtility, and I can see the drive mounted in the list of detected drives and 3 partitions "SD1, SD2, SD3" under that drive, but after repeating the procedure a few more times, nothing seems to be happening after the system freeze.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I am trying to access the data partition for my stuff.
I have Tuxera NTFS installed, and I should probably also mention that my Macbook Air is mid 2011 with only USB 2.0 ports.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I figured out the freezing part; apparently, I had to connect to the USB port on the left side next to the power supply or the disk does not have enough power and causes the system to crash. So, now Disk Utility can see the hard drive with no problem.

Tutorial: Clone/Installing new hard drive (hdd) & install windows(FAT NTFS)

This is a tutorial for people looking to clone their internal hard drive and install it into their macbook (usually because you've upgraded to a larger hdd). I have also included an installation of windows vis a vis boot camp style. Ive been battling this for the past 3 days, so hopefully this tutorial will answer some questions and save you some time.
1. Firstly get your external drive (clone) ready. Go to applications---->utilities---->disk utility. Click on your external drive and then partition it. I used 2 partitions, one for mac (200 GB) and one for windows (40 GB). For now partition in GUID partition format (found in options). This is important. You can check whether it actually as in GUID at the end of the format when you click on the drive and on the bottom part of the screen it will give you all the drive information. (NOTE: if you have a standard windows installation you can have 1 partition at this stage and then later let boot camp create a partition for you. Boot camp will only format in FAT, so all windows using NTFS are out of luck).
2. if you ve decided to go for 2 partitions, format the windows partition into FAT or NTFS. If you are using windows 7 (which by the way, is a pretty good effort by microsoft and WAS free to download on beta), anyways if your using a windows which requires NTFS obviously format so. WINXP runs just fine on FAT and is probably the easier option. (This is a note for those formatting on NTFS; sometimes OSX with have some error in formatting NTFS at this stage, God knows why, dont download NTFS 3G or Disk Warrior, nothing will fix it. Just leave it for now and when your finished cloning and ready to install windows, use the XP CD to boot from and then you will be presented with the option of formatting in NTFS. I did this then exited before the actual XP install to get my windows 7 in there. (NOTE: you cannot clone windows installations, ntfs partitions, etc)
3. With your external drive ready. Download carbon copy cloner or super duper. I used super duper. So just choose your internal drive and 'backup all files' to your external. This disk will be bootable. It will not be necessary to use a third hdd to restore to. infact i tried both ways of doing it and both worked just as well as each other. No need for a third drive as some have suggested.
4. Once finished, check out the clone. Restart, just when the mac is starting HOLD down the 'option' key....you will be presented with a list of devices to boot from, choose your external (usb or firewire------> note usb only works for INTEL macs, if your not sure if you have an intel mac. In OSX click on the small black apple on the upper left hand corner of the screen and 'about this mac'....it should say whether its intel or not. Also if your pressing option and you get a padlock wanting a password (like i did), but you dont know the password. Dont worry. Get your OSX installation discs, reboot from those (it will do so automatically). Go to Utilities drop down menu and choose reset firmware password. The other 'reset password' resets the password which would come right before entering into OSX at startup.
5. Anyways, assuming your all good booting from your external drive, check out drive, whether everything is where it should be. if it check outs your good to go.
6. Disassemble macbook to install your clone (not that difficult, get a good youtube tutorial for this like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXqJn465lxs and be careful with disengaging your keyboard cable, otherwise its fairly straight forward. I did this about 6 times trying to get everything right and experimenting with installations. So im pretty blase about it
7. Start up your machine hold OPTION at startup, choose your now internal hdd. Your in. (NOTE: if you reset your firmware password the first time, you will have to do this again with your OSX discs)
8. If you have a standard windows installation you can download boot camp assistant or alternatively it will already be in applications---->utilities---> boot camp assistant. Boot camp will create you a partition and then ask you to put in the windows installation disc, is fairly automated.
9. If you decide to do it manually because you have 2 partitions already. Just restart with your windows cd in there and wait for it to boot, if it doesnt, restart, hold option key. Then just go through the usual windows installation, choose the partition with FAT or NTFS.
10. After all this you will have a working copy of OSX and Windows. I use VMWARE to use windows inside OSX, like a virtual drive. VMWARE has a more straight forward installation then Parallels Desktop (which is apparently faster).... but choose whatever works for you. To look at OSX files through Windows install MACDRIVE and you will be able to view and alter all files as you see fit.
Hopefully this tutorial was of some help. I don t generally read any mac forums so i cant really reply to any questions. I just wanted to post my experience so if someone else out there is searching for answers like i was, then these words will be guide and save you time trawling through numberless webpages......Good luck.

I would approach the situation as follows;
install Acronis, if your new HDD is from Seagate or Western Digital I believe you can download this free from their support sites.
create an Acronis Rescue Disc and when it's created uninstall Acronis as you don't need it any more.
attach external HDD and ODD and boot from the Acronis Rescue Disc
create an image of the current main HDD to the external HDD
remove current HDD from your X61 and insert the new HDD in it's place - this is very important.
boot from Acronis Rescue Disc and recover the image you created to it.
Enjoy your new hard drive.
Alternatively, if you can put your original HDD in the external HDD caddy (connectors are the same) or purchase a 2.5" caddy, you could clone after creating the Acronis Rescue Disc, step by step instructions for cloning can be found here.

NTFS format partition problem - install Windows 8.1

I cannot install Windows 8.1 from USB via bootcamp, on Mavericks late 2013 rMPB 15"
When I get towards the end of the Windows Setup screen the Bootcamp partition is showing as not NTFS format
There is no 'advanced options' to click, under the 4 partition options.
I have pressed Option and tried installing through either the 'Windows' partition and the 'EFI' partition - both have the NTFS format problem.

Just hit the 'format' button - looks like it might be working now

Can't install Windows 7 (NTFS partition)

New MacBook Pro (bought in August with version 10.5.8), just updated to Snow Leopard. Boot Camp is v. 3.
Created a 100GB partition for Windows using Bootcamp, clicked install and inserted the Windows 7 64-bit disk. Did this twice - same error "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS."
I was never asked - I thought any partition >32GB was by default NTFS?

I have the same problem. I have "Disk 0 Partition 3: BOOTCAMP" highlighted. There is no option to "format." I just see an error message. "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3." I click for details, and it says, "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS."
I've seen screenshots of the install screen with the format button, so I know what it's supposed to look like. I'm not missing it.
EDIT: NEVER MIND, I'm a dum-dum. I didn't click disk options or whatever to get to the screen with the format options.

Cannot mount FAT32 partition

After updating my arch install a few days ago I cannot mount my FAT32 partitions. The partitions worked fine before, but now when I go to mount them nothing happens at all, not even an error. They use to automount. When I go to my computer I can see all partitions but when I click on them nothing happens. I don't see the partitions in the fstab either. The partitions work fine in windows so it is not the data, any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
Good luck!

Cannot access windows shares with NTFS junction points

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks and now I cannot access Windows shared where the folders are access through NTFS junction points. (NTFS junction points are like symbolic links to files/folders).
Regular shares are working fine and these shares are working on Windows PC's. I also tried before and after on another Mac Mini I have, so is definitatley something to do with upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance
A.

This is related to Apple's new SMB2 implementation in Mavericks.
Instead of connecting to your Windows share via SMB, connect via CFIS. Note that I had to disconnect from Windows share, restart, and then reconnect with CFIS to get the NTFS junction points to work.
From ZDNet:
You can also try forcing Mavericks to use the older SMB variant, Common Internet File System (CIFS). To do this, simply edit your server connection URL so that it uses CIFS. Use the Finder to choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server..." (or just use command-K) and type "cifs://YourServerName" and hit Return; the server should mount. If it doesn't, try entering the share's designation as well, e.g. "cifs://YourServerName/YourDriveName."
[BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM SMB SHARES AND BEFORE THE CFIS CONNECT TO MAKE SURE ALL ACCESS THREADS CLOSE!]

Cannot mount certain partitions: /dev/ entries do not exist

Hello all. Strange problem here. First I will describe my disk layout. I triple boot Gentoo, Arch, and FreeBSD. My partitions look like this:
/dev/hda = MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive 40GB
hda1 = shared '/boot' partition
hda2 = gentoo '/' partition
hda3 = gentoo '/usr/' partition
hda4 = gentoo '/home' partition
/dev/hdb = SAMSUNG SP0802N, ATA DISK drive 80GB
hdb1 = shared music partition mounted as /home/music on both Gentoo and Arch
hdb2 = shared swap partition
hdb3 = FreeBSD partition
hdb4 = logical Partition
hdb5 = archlinux '/' partition
hdb6 = shared video partition mounted as /home/music/video on both Gentoo and Arch
Now both gentoo and arch use devfs. From gentoo I can see all partitions in the /dev directory and mount accordingly, however, from Arch I cannot mount my gentoo partitions on /dev/hda, and in fact they do not even exist in the /dev directory. Only /dev/hda1 is visible (the shared boot partition which holds all my kernels regardless of distro).
Running fdisk -l /dev/hda from arch gives me this puzzling output:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4111 33021576 55 EZ-Drive
So it would seem that fdisk thinks that /dev/hda1 takes up the entire drive, and is labeled as 'EZ-Drive'?!?!?!?!?!? I can assure you that running the same command from gentoo gives me the correct partitions and disklabels ie: id 83 Linux
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This isn't really a big deal at this point, just an interesting annoyance that I would like to discover the cause of.
TIA

I don't know how it could be that the kernels interpret the partition table differently, and I'm certainly not sure that this is what's going on. That's why I suggested loading Arch with the Gentoo kernel. I wouldn't expect the system to be its true self, but merely satesfy the curiosity by checking whether it would see the right partitions (a.k.a. trouble-shooting).
It shouldn't be a problem to test this, unless your Arch root uses a file system that is not built into your Gentoo kernel. If for instance hdb5 is reiserfs and your 2.4 kernel has that as a module, you're probably out of luck regarding my suggestion. If this is the case, you could also try the Arch 2.4 kernel. It can coexist with your current kernel because the kernel packages for the two trees have different names.
pacman -S kernel
Hope this helps,

Install Failure: Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1.

I have problem with installation Win7 x64. Installation stops on disk selection with mesage: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information". I tried ICH9 controler in mode AHCI and RAID. Loading intel drivers (Ver:8.7.0.1007 and 7.5.0.1017) gives me masage "Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1." Details: "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001". I can see drives, make new partition and format it.
Spec:
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 4GB
MB: MSI Neo2 FIR (intel P35 and ICH9R)
HDD: 2x 640GB SATA (empty)

I had the same problem. On a new build, ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen4, I a pulled a WD 1TB Sata HDD from another computer I had and put it into my new computer. The drive was previously used just as a data drive, not a boot disk. Win 7 didn't want load on it.
I followed the instructions posted by BenFreefly (although abbreviated slightly) and it worked. For reference, here are the steps;
1) After Windows gives you the error, hit SHIFT-F10 to get to the command prompt.
2) From command prompt enter the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0    (your disk may be a different number)
clean
create partition primary
exit    (exits diskpart)
exit    (exits command prompt)
3) Click on Refresh
4) Windows now sees the disk as a primary disk
5) Select the disk and click Next.
From there, Windows will extract files and the install will boot several times.

Cannot Mount Any ISO in Windows 8.1 Pro

I cannot mount any ISO images on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine. I have tried the "Mount" under right-click as well as Powershell with the same results. From the UI, I get a simple message "Sorry there was a problem mounting the file."
while from Powershell I get an HResult that from searching seems to be rather generic.
I have followed the idea about upper filter and lower filter. I have made sure that the ISO is not "sparse". I made sure that ISO's are associated with Windows Explorer. I have tried a number of ISO's all from either TechNet or MSDN
with the same results. ProcMon doesn't really offer anything useful as the number of entries is overwhelming to try to limit to just mounting an image.
I read several posts where drive letters were an issue, but no guidance was given regarding what drive letter the virtual drive preferred.
I can mount the same ISO files on another Windows 8.1 Pro machine, so it isn't the ISO itself.
Any ideas? I have spent the entire day working on this problem and I really need some help.
Thanks,
Glen

I was struggling with this too. I found that the problem is a 'sparse' attribute that gets added by the Akamai downloader (known bug). To fix just copy the ISO (and the VHD) files to another folder this removes the (P). I found the answer at:

I have used mounting ISO images, sparce files and so on. No issues.
this suggests its time for a fresh install of windows, backup twice in case of the unthinkable

How do I create a Boot Camp partition with Windows & blank NTFS partitions?

I'm trying to create this kind of setup:
OS X partition
Windows 7 partition
blank NTFS partition (no OS)
blank NTFS partition (no OS)
This would be much easier if I created just the OS X partition and the Windows 7 partition with the Boot Camp Assistant tool (done this many times before successfully on other computers). The problem begins when I try to split the Boot Camp partition through the Windows 7 DVD partition manager during setup by deleting the Boot Camp partition, and recreating three partitions from the unallocated space. After installing Windows 7 on one of those new three partitions, I'm getting all kinds of startup errors when I try to install the Boot Camp drivers.
What would the best way to achieve this setup?

Yes, I researched many options for three partition dual boot set ups. After many trials and tribulations, there is a simple method that I have used on multiple MBPs.
1. Run Boot Camp Assistant, as per the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide. Once you have Mac OS X and Windows 7 set up, check the partitions and back them up (with Time Machine, and Winclone).
2. Get iPartition, and resize the Mac and Windows partitions to what you want, say 100GB each, and set up your other partitions to the size you want. I put mine "after" the Windows partition, at the end of the disk, and have had no problems. It takes a few minutes to create the bootable CD for iPartition, but you get everything you need to do so from Coriolis Systems. You will need your Mac OS X installl disc.
3. Install Paragon's HFS+ for Windows and NTFS for Mac, and everybody can read and write everything.
4. I have both Time Machine and Norton 360 back up the Data partitions, just in case -- to an external drive, of course.
You can boot to either OS and access any partition.

Help: Cannot boot Windows with GRUB

here is the strangest thing i have ever met:
I cannot boot my Windows system after I installed Archlinux, which took me a huge amout of time
I think the menu.lst file has no problem, the windows lines as follow:
# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
The weird thing is that I can mount any other ntfs partitions but /dev/sda1, which contains the windows os
when I try to mount it, the error is as follow:
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
WARNING: Couldn't set locale to 'zh_CN.UTF-8' thus some file names may not
be correct or visible. Please see the potential solution at

Please check '/dev/sda1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,

But with the same settings in /etc/fstab , I can mount other ntfs partitions, why???
I think the two problems above should be related
