2009 mounting, system, Command-line

1. locate image and go there, you will find files like: "sda1.ntfs-img.aa" and "sda1.ntfs-img.ab" ...

2. find what compression has been used, gzip, bzip or lzop?

file *.ntfs-img.aa

3. you will need ntfsclone, install

sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

4. lets say its gzip (as it probably is), then we need to extract the NTFS image using gzip.

Note: this will take considerable time.

Note: the image will be sized to the original partition-size, unused space inluded

sudo cat *.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o ntfs.img -

5. mount with:

sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs ntfs.img /media/ntfs-img
